Bobby Pinson Shadows Of The Heartland Lyrics

Shadows Of The Heartland Lyrics

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 what her dad was all about 

Wish he was with us now



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
