Lyrics

Soul of the Heartland

You’ve got sixth generation wild west blood
Running through your veins
Mixed in with the mud
And there’s a wind swept pride won’t be denied
You can feel it in your bones

Wheat fields and cattle far as the eye can see
And all the dreams you’ve worked for no
They don’t come easily
But you’re right where you belong
What makes you strong
That heaven you call home

Chorus:
In the soul of the heartland
You know this is good land
Never far away from a helping calloused hand
And if we can’t we know Jesus can
Oh save the soul of the heartland

Some kids head to California
And leave their boots behind
But some get up every morning
Keep this way of life from dying
There is faith and hope
Down every dusty road
One rainfall at a time

Chorus

When you look across the sky
And see what you’ve been given
That sacred ground beneath your feet
And you’re thankful that you’re living

Chorus
