Shadows Of The Heartland Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Pinson

Sittin' in the shade made 

By a hay truck on a hot day 

A cloud of dust on an old dirt road meant 

Lemonade was on the way 

She was beautiful 

And her daddy said that I made a good hand 

We laid there on the ground as the sun went down 

On the shadows of the heartland 

I helped her daddy fix up 

His old beat up red Ford pickup 

Had her shinin' like a diamond 

He said, "Climb behind the wheel, son" 

She was beautiful 

Said "Take her slow" as he placed the keys in my hand 

And dancin' in the headlights that night 

Shadows of the heartland 

Heaven can't be far away 

From the fields of gold where I was raised 

Where the sun shines bright 

But the light comes from the word 

Where you know you reap the seeds you sow 

You count your blessings row by row 

And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 

The life I live, the love I give, the man I am 

Shadows of the heartland 

Friday night lights shinin' bright 

The last game of the season 

We were just one play away 

From being undefeated 

The pass was beautiful 

But somehow that ball slipped right through my hands 

She was there to hold me close when it turned cold 

In the shadows of the heartland 

Heaven can't be far away 

From the fields of gold where I was raised 

Where the sun shines bright 

But the light comes from the word 

Where you know you reap the seeds you so 

You count your blessings row by row 

And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 

The life I live, the love I give, the man I am 

Shadows of the heartland 

Amazin' grace and a place to plow 

That's what her dad was all about 

Wish he was with us now 

But heaven can't be far away 

From the fields of gold where I was raised 

Where the sun shines bright 

But the light comes from the word 

Where you know you reap the seeds you so 

You count your blessings row by row 

And sweat and blood and tears and love still work 

The life I live, the love I give, the man I am 

Shadows of the heartland, shadows of the heartland
