Homesick for the Heartland Lyrics by John Baumann

Country Shade

2020

I recall the good old days
Growing up in the country shade
Chewing straw under summer rays
Back when there was space to wander
Miles from the city light
We could see the stars at night
Tried to count every one in sight
But they were too great to number
How I wish I could take your hand
And go on home to the heartland
I'm homesick for the heartland, baby
I miss the smell of familiar lately
Come on right now, let's go
Where the amber grains grow
Homesick for the heartland, baby
Homesick for my sweet heartland
I remember my heart was heavy
Fixing up that Dust Bowl Chevy
I'll never forget when it was ready
How that AM Radio sung
And how could I not mention
My old tape of that Nebraska Session
Listening to the Okie Legend
And "Forever Young"
How I wish I could take your hand
And go on home to the heartland
I'm homesick for the heartland, baby
I miss the smell of familiar lately
Come on right now, let's go
Where the amber grains grow
Homesick for the heartland, baby
Homesick for my sweet heartland
I go to this place in my mind
When times were good and folks were kind
If I ever make it back, I'll be home
I'll be home
So come on, baby, take my hand
Let's go on home to the heartland
I'm homesick for the heartland, baby
I miss the smell of familiar lately
Come on right now, let's go
Where the amber grains grow
Homesick for the heartland, baby
Homesick for my sweet heartland
Come on baby take my hand
