Margo Price - Heart Of America
[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A D AMy sweet mother gets up so early in the morning
EShe turns on the stove and she makes a pot of coffee
A A7 DMy daddy fills his tractor up with diesel to plant the corn
A E AAnd that's how it was on the day that I was born
[Verse]
A D AWell the days they went by and the bins filled up with grain
EMy mother's brother died on a motorcycle in the rain
A A7 DThe town got too big for its britches and the government it came
A E AAnd now it will never be the same
[Chorus]
ENo one moves away with no money
They just Do what they can
F#m ATo live in the heart of America
EGetting by on their own two hands
You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man
DBut at the end of the day, if the rain it don't rain
E AWe just Do what we can
[Solo]

[Verse]
A D ASome time back in eighty-sixwhen big banks took the throne
EThey asked about every local farmer try to dry his own corn
ABut the men in the suits had a bigger plan
A7 DThan to let it be our own
A E AWhen the crops came in that spring, they were blown
A D AAnd Neil and Willie tried so hard and battles they have gone
EBut that was still long after the bigger war had been won
A A7 DNo one was there to save the wheat and the cattle at my home
A E AThey took every field my family owned
[Chorus]
ENo one moves away with no money
They just Do what they can
F#m ATo live in the heart of America
EGetting by on their own two hands
You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man
DBut at the end of the day, if the rain it don't rain, if the bank it don't break
E AWe just Do what we can
E AYou just Do what you can
