Bobby Pinson - Shadows of the heartland

^GSittin 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 ^Cbeautiful, and her daddy said that I made a good ^Ghand We ^Dlaid there on the ground as the sun went ^Cdown On the shadows of the ^Gheartland

^GI 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 She was ^Cbeautiful, said take her slow as he placed the keys in my ^Ghand And ^Ddancin' in the headlights that ^Cnight, shadows of the ^Gheartland

^DHeaven can't be far away from the ^Cfields of gold where I was raised Where the ^Gsun shines bright but the light comes from the word Where you ^Dknow you reap the seeds you sow You ^Ccount your blessings row by row And ^Gsweat and blood and tears and love still work The ^Emlife I live the ^Dlove I give the ^Cman I am Shadows of the ^Gheartland

^GFriday night lights shining bright the last game of the season We were just one play away from being undefeated The pass was ^Cbeautiful, but somehow that ball slipped right through my ^Ghands She was ^Dthere to hold me close when it turned ^Ccold In the shadows of the ^Gheartland

^DHeaven can't be far away from the ^Cfields of gold where I was raised Where the ^Gsun shines bright but the light comes from the word Where you ^Dknow you reap the seeds you sow You ^Ccount your blessings row by row And ^Gsweat and blood and tears and love still work The ^Emlife I live the ^Dlove I give the ^Cman I am Shadows of the ^Gheartland ^{D Em C}

A^Dmazing ^Emgrace and a ^Cplace to ^Gplow ^DThat's what ^Emher dad was ^Call about Wish ^Emhe was with us ^Cnow

^DHeaven can't be far away from the ^Cfields of gold where I was raised Where the ^Gsun shines bright but the light comes from the word Where you ^Dknow you reap the seeds you sow You ^Ccount your blessings row by row And ^Gsweat and blood and tears and love still work The ^Emlife I live the ^Dlove I give the ^Cman I am Shadows of the ^Gheartland
