[00:00.50]Margo Price - Heart of America
[00:14.29]My sweet mother gets up so early in the morning
[00:19.42]She turns on the stove and she makes a pot of coffee
[00:24.98]My daddy fills his tractor up with diesel to plant the corn
[00:29.79]And that's how it was on the day that I was born
[00:37.88]Well the days they went by and the bins filled up with grain
[00:43.08]My mother's brother died on a motorcycle in the rain
[00:48.08]The town got too big for its britches and the government it came
[00:53.40]And now it will never be the same
[00:59.13]No one moves away with no money
[01:01.68]They just do what they can
[01:03.96]To live in the heart of America
[01:06.31]Getting by on their own two hands
[01:09.23]You can pray to anybody's Jesus
[01:11.91]And be a hardworking man
[01:14.26]But at the end of the day if the rain it don't rain
[01:19.14]We just do what we can
[01:39.70]Some time back in eighty six
[01:42.39]When big banks took the throne
[01:44.70]They asked about every local farmer try to dry his own corn
[01:49.90]But the men in the suits had a bigger plan
[01:52.68]Than to let it be our own
[01:54.81]When the crops came in that spring they were blown
[02:00.25]And Neil and Willie tried so hard
[02:02.91]And battles they have gone
[02:05.77]But that was still long after the bigger war had been won
[02:10.90]No one was there to save the wheat and the cattle at my home
[02:15.98]They took every field my family owned
[02:21.75]No one moves away with no money
[02:24.21]They just do what they can
[02:26.56]To live in the heart of America
[02:28.90]Getting by on their own two hands
[02:31.65]You can pray to anybody's Jesus
[02:34.45]And be a hardworking man
[02:36.83]But at the end of the day if the rain it don't rain
[02:41.96]If the bank it don't break
[02:44.64]We just do what we can
[02:50.07]You just do what you can
