[Intro]
F Bb C F
[Verse 1]
F Bb C/E
Way before, before the sun comes up
F Bb C/E
Already on his second cup
Dm Bb C
He's looking out across the open sky
F Bb C/E
As streaks of orange, pink, and gray
F Bb C/E
Wash over rows of new mown hay
Dm Bb C
The farmland fills the cowboy's heart with pride
F Bb C/E
He rises slowly from his chair
F Bb C/E
His back is stiff, grays in his hair
Dm Bb C
He spends a long long days in the sun
F Bb C/E
But he ain’t one much to complain
F Bb C/E
He saddles up and takes the reins
Dm Bb C
And rides hard till his working day is done
[Chorus]
F Bb C
You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man
F Bb C
Who’ve spent their whole lives living close to the land
Dm Bb C
There’s a love for the country and a pride in the brand
F Bb Cadd4 F
In America’s heartland, living close to the land
F Bb Cadd4 F
In America’s heartland, close to the land
[Verse 2]
F Bb C
When the sun is high overhead
F Bb C
She's been eight hours out of bed
Dm Bb C
She's still got a lot of work to do
F Bb C
Pulling weeds and patching jeans
F Bb C
And keeping faith when times are lean
Dm Bb C
She does a man's work and a woman's too
F Bb C
She'll run the tractor, water stock
