Verse One:
G
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
G
On the shadows of the heartland

G
I helped her daddy fix up his old beat-up red Ford pick-up
I had her shinin' like a diamond, he said climb behind the wheel son
C G
She was beautiful, said take her slow as he placed the keys in my hand
D C G
And dancin' in the headlights that night, shadows of the heartland
Chorus:
D C
Heaven can't be far away from the fields of gold where I was raised
G
Where the sun shines bright but the light comes from the word
D
Where you know you reap the seeds you sow
C
You count your blessings row by row
G
And sweat and blood and tears and love still work
Em D C
The life I live the love I give the man I am
G
Shadows of the heartland
Verse Three:

Friday night lights shining bright the last game of the season
We were just one play away from being undefeated

In the shadows of the heartland
