There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland,
And the bankers are takin' 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,
There's a well with water so bitter nobody can drink.
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 nobody cryin' for me?
My American dream
Fell apart at the seams.
You tell me what it means,
