Willie Nelson - Heartland Lyrics
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
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
[guitar]
There's a home place under fire tonight in a heartland
And bankers are taking the homes and the land away
There's a young boy closin' his eyes tonight in a 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
My American dream...
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland

Willie Nelson Heartland Comments
Why haven't I heard it till Terry Gross played it? Great song! Should be on every country station on rotation
TERRY GROSS NPR: What do you feel you and Bob Dylan have most in common as friends or as songwriters or lovers of music?
WILLIE NELSON: Well, I think all those things. He enjoys touring and playing
probably as much as I do because he's always out here somewhere. I enjoy his
friendship because he's a great guy. He's a little shy and reserved but, you
know, so am I in a lot of ways. And so I understand that. We've written a song
together one time. We wrote a song called "The American Dream [Heartland]." And
it was written in sort of a different way I guess because he sent me the melody
that - a track that he had already recorded where he just hummed a melody. So
the whole thing was like (humming) so (laughter) it was kind of a strange demo.
But the track was great, so I wrote lyrics to the - to his instrumental, and it
turned out I thought pretty good. We recorded it in New York, maybe just a
month or so after we finished it.
GROSS: My guest is Willie Nelson. Here he is with Bob Dylan singing
"Heartland,"
www.equip.org i thought this may have been a cover of the U2 1988 song called Heartland,but its different.
Thanks for that! Never knew the song came about that way. Can't go wrong with Dylan melody and Nelson lyrics!
