There's a home place under fire
Tonight in the heartland
And the bankers are taking my home
And my land from me.


There's a big achin' hole in my chest
Now, where my heart was
And a hole in the sky
Where God used to be.

There's a home place under fire
Tonight in the heartland
There's a well where the water's so bitter
Nobody can drink.

Ain't no way to get high and my mouth
Is so dry that I can't speak
Don't they know that I'm dyin'
Why's nobody cryin' for me?.

My American dream
Fell apart at the seams
You tell me what it means
You tell me what it means.

There's a home place under fire
Tonight in the heartland
And bankers are taking the homes
And the land away.

There's a young boy closin' his eyes
Tonight in the heartland
Who will wake up a man with some land
And a loan he can't pay.

His American dream
Fell apart at the seams
You tell me what it means
You tell me what it means
My American dream
Fell apart at the seams
You tell me what it means
You tell me what it means.

There's a home place under fire
Tonight in the heartland......
