Sunday I started thinkin'
Back to yesterday

Out behind the barn
& smell of fresh mown hay

Back when kids were happy
Just playin' in the sand

When boys, were simply boys
Shooting rubber bands



Take me back LORD
To the way I used to be
In my back yard
Climbing the old oak tree

Or out in the field
Workin' with my ole man
Plowin' the Earth
In "America's Heartland"



Cool water, never so good
When your tossin' bales

Summer heat pouring down
Takes the wind out of your sails

Chill of early Fall
Harvest was the best part

Watchin' colors change
Before Winter starts

REPEAT CHORUS-----

Bridge:

Funny how time changed,
this old dirt road

Not how I remember
Since the farm sold

It's been ten years....since he went away


Take me back, LORD
To days gone bye

Sitting on the bridge
Telling fishin' lies

Or out in the field
Workin' with my bare hands

Building dreams
In "America's Heartland"

It was all possible
Way back then.....
Plowin' the Earth
In "America's Heartland"
