The Midwest Fall

Kid Rock · Other Songs - Kid Rock

Listen to the wind, lonesome is the sound

Blowing in changes and breaking through this town

Listen to the heartbeat, heartland's barely breathing

Hope and faith are still alive but jobs are steady leaving



It chills me to the bone

Brings a tear to my eye

Like the last days of summer gone

It's hard to watch a good thing die



In the days of my youth there was dancing in the streets

Ford was building motorcars and folks were building dreams

'Round the clock, day and night, working hard's a way of life

As I recall



It chills me to the bone

Brings a tear to my eye

Like the last days of summer gone

It's hard to watch a good thing die



It's the Midwest fall, blue collar life

Staring at December, dreaming about July

The Midwest fall, dreams get blown away

It's hard to take the Midwest fall



My grandpa was a union man, my daddy watched it burn

We never had a lot, we lived off what we earned

We built the cars and tanks that helped to keep our nation free

And now I can't afford to feed my family



It chills me to the bone

Brings a tear to my eye

Like the last days of summer gone

It's hard to watch a good thing die



It's the Midwest fall, blue collar life

Staring at December, dreaming about July

The Midwest fall, dreams get blown away

It's hard to take the Midwest fall, oh, oh yeah



I can't pay my taxes, Lord

I can't afford to feed my kids

I guess I'll stay and ride it out

Because you are so beautiful, yeah



The Midwest fall, blue collar life

Staring at December, dreaming about July

The Midwest fall, dreams get blown away

It's hard to take



The Midwest fall, oh, don't go away

The Midwest fall, dreamin', dreamin'

The Midwest fall, ah, don't go away

It's hard to take, please don't go away you are so beautiful



The Midwest fall

The Midwest fall

The Midwest fall

The Midwest fall
