Close To The Land ( America's Heartland) 4:33 Lyrics - Buckaroo Blue Grass - Michael Martin Murphey

Way before the sun comes up, 

Already on his second cup, 

Hes looking out across the open sky. 

As streaks of orange, pink, and gray 

Wash over rows of new mown hay 

The rangeland fills a cowboys heart with pride. 

He rises slowly from his chair, 

His back is stiff, greys in his hair. 

Hes spent a lot of lone days in the sun. 

He aint one much to complain 

He saddles up, takes the reins, 

And rides har til his working day is done.

You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man 

Whove spent their whole lives living close to the land. 

Theres a love for the country 

And a pride in the brand 

In Americas heartland living close to the land 

In Americas heartland close to the land. 

When the sun is high overhead 

Shes been eight hours out of bed. 

Shes still got a lot of work to do, 

Pulling weeds an patchin jeans 

And keepin faith when times are lean, 

She does a mans work and a womans too. 

Shell run a tractor, water stock, 

Fix the truck, then feed her flock 

But somehow she gets roses from the ground. 

She aint got a thing to prove 

She simply does what she must do 

From early morning til the sun goes down.

You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man 

Whove spent their whole lives living close to the land. 

Theres a love for the country 

And a pride in the brand 

In Americas heartland living close to the land 

In Americas heartland close to the land. 

Theres something that the people know 

Who make things live and make things grow 

Deeper than the words of any sage 

That unless youve touched this earth, 

Planted seeds, or given birth 

The human heart can never come of age. 

You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man 

Whove spent their whole lives living close to the land. 

Theres a love for this country 

And a pride in the brand 

In Americas heartland living close to the land 

In Americas heartland close to the land. 

Bringin in the sheaves, bringin in the sheaves 

We shall come rejoicing bringin in the sheaves. 

Tis a gift to be simple, 

Tis a gift to be free, 

Tis a gift to come down 

Where we ought to be. 

When we find ourselves in the place just right 

It will be in the valley of love and delight. 

And when true simplicity is gained 

To bow and to bend we wont be ashamed. 

To turn, turn will be our delight 

Til by turning, turning we come round right.
