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'...
