Raining In My Heartland Lyrics - Lynyrd Skynyrd

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'
