I was born in this town
D
I lived here all my life
Am
This is where my family settled down
C
And this is where I want to die
G
We paved these roads
D
We built this town with our own hands
Am
We rise and fall together
C
We live and die by the fate of the land
D
It&rsquo s a hard life, but I wouldn&rsquo t give it up
C
&lsquo Cause I know it&rsquo s supposed to be this way
D
On a dark night you can look in the mirror
C
And you know that you&rsquo ve earned your pay
G D Am C
We plant these seeds and we sow them the best we can
Em D G
I know why they call it the heartland
G D Am C
G
There&rsquo s the three-thirty bound for Denver
D
But it won&rsquo t be staying long
Am
Just enough time to pick up freight
C
And keep moving on
G
I stop and listen
D
As the train slows through town
Am
I think about getting on
C
But I push that dream back down
D
It&rsquo s a hard life, but I wouldn&rsquo t give it up
C
&lsquo Cause I know it&rsquo s supposed to be this way
D
On a dark night you can look in the mirror
C
And you know that you&rsquo ve earned your pay

Em D G
I know why they call it the heartland
Em D
Sometimes you&rsquo ve gotta keep on going
C D
When there&rsquo s nowhere left to go
Em D
I can&rsquo t take that train to Denver
C
So I let those tracks take me home
G D Am C
G
Maybe it&rsquo s a small town
D
And maybe it&rsquo s all we know
Am
And maybe we&rsquo d stay right here
C
Even if we had somewhere to go
G
Maybe it&rsquo s a small town
D
But this is how I want to live
Am
Ain&rsquo t it funny how the less you&rsquo ve got
C
The more you&rsquo ve got left to give
D
It&rsquo s a hard life, but I wouldn&rsquo t give it up
C
&lsquo Cause I know it&rsquo s supposed to be this way
