Close to the Land (America's Heartland Theme) |
Way before the sun comes up |
Already on his second cup |
He’s looking out across the open sky |
As streaks of orange, pink, and gray |
Wash over rows of new mown hay |
The range land fills a cowboys heart with pride |
He rises slowly from his chair |
His back is stiff, greys in his hair |
He’s spent a lot of lone days in the sun |
He ain’t one much to complain |
He saddles up and takes the reins |
And rides hard til his working day is done |
You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man |
In Americas heartland living close to the land |
There’s a love for the country and a pride in the brand |
In Americas heartland living close to the land |
Close to the land |
When the sun is high overhead |
Shes been eight hours out of bed |
Shes still got a lot of work to do |
Pulling weeds an patchin' jeans |
And keepin' faith when times are lean |
She does a mans work and a womans too |
She’ll run a tractor, water stock |
Fix the truck, then feed her flock |
But somehow she gets roses from the ground |
She ain’t got a thing to prove |
She simply does what she must do |
From early morning til the sun goes down |
You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man |
In Americas heartland living close to the land |
There’s a love for the country and a pride in the brand |
In Americas heartland living close to the land |
In Americas heartland close to the land |
There’s something that the people know |
Who make things live and make things grow |
Deeper than the words of any sage |
That unless you’ve touched this earth |
Planted seeds, or given birth |
The human heart can never come of age |
You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man |
In Americas heartland living close to the land |
There’s a love for the country and a pride in the brand |
In Americas heartland living close to the land |
In Americas heartland close to the land |
In Americas heartland close to the land |
