Lynyrd Skynyrd - Raining in My Heartland

Mud-covered cornfields starin' out my back door The barn's leaning over now and that deer don't run no more So much life before, now that dream is gone When the factory burned down I moved up to the city The school we all went to is a memory that got bulldozed And the good times froze when that door closed Main Street's still there but the stores are all empty The car lot where my daddy worked is dirt and stone The only thing that comes through here Is stormy weather And it's raining... It's raining in my heartland We're packing them boxes for something better Ran across my mom and dad's old love letters And the photograph of this house that we're standin' in now Let's stop by the church where we got married Walk out back where your grandma's buried And say goodbye one last time Main Street's still there but the stores are all empty The car lot where my daddy worked is dirt and stone The only thing that comes through here Is stormy weather And it's raining... It's raining in my heartland Some dreams just stop growing where you plant them You gotta count your blessings and be happy that you've had them Let's grab a shovel baby - dig us a new life Main Street's still there but the stores are all empty The car lot where my daddy worked is dirt and stone The only thing that comes through here Is stormy weather And it's raining... It's raining in my heartland Yeah, it's rainin' It's raining in my heartland Oh my heartland Yeah my heartland It's rainin'...
