Lynyrd Skynyrd - Raining In My Heartland Lyrics






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'

    @10yearvet im still wondering why them CIA haven't kill any bad people yet

  9. g.... ....

    what can i say, my teacher says that the CIA is the most evil organization in the world

  10. L.... ....

    @Airsoftslave Thanks man!

    I don't wanna blame anyone or start an argue about who's guilty for what is happening in my country, the both sides of the border have their own responsabilities and is up to them to do their job in order to restore peace, but it is obvious that behind all the blood spiling lie the interests of those who control the power.

    And FYI, I don't hate USA, I met some of your peaple and believe me, they are one of the most kind hearted people in the world.

    Peace brother! :)

    Holly shit! This song really describes our situation here in my state. Nuevo Leon went from a first world state to a nest of rats, killers and corruption. I live in Cadereyta, a little town located 50km to the south of Monterrey and believe me, this song fits perfectly to what's going on in my town becaus of the violence of the narco gangs.

    I just hope this comes to an end soon, i just want my life back and my people to be happy again.

    Greetings to everyone!!
