Artist/Band: Don Williams
Lyrics for Song: Broken Heartland
Lyrics for Album: One Good Well [RCA] [1989]



He climbs up on his John Deere

Shoves a plug of Redman in his jaw

His eyes stretch 'cross the valley

Way down to where they're putting up a mall



His baseball cap says Kansas

The Washington says how much he can grow

There's a bank note in his pocket

That says in 30 days they'll have his home



It's hard living in a broken heartland

It's enough to break a man and his beliefs

Lord give him strength to mend this broken heartland

'Cause he's living proof of a dying breed



His sons gone off to college

Learning skills that'll get him off the farm

And his wife just keeps it all inside

Still he finds his only comfort in her arms



And this tractors been his treasure

Oh, how could an auction measure its true worth

And every night he asks the Father

That he may never lose this mother earth



It's hard living in a broken heartland

It's enough to break a man and his beliefs

Lord give him strength to mend this broken heartland

'Cause he's living proof of a dying breed



Lord give him strength to mend this broken heartland

'Cause he's living proof of a dying breed...
