Country Heart

Is it a wheat field behind a fence line
 A 12 gauge pepper on a road sign
 Is it a dirt road, off the blacktop
 Deadman's name beside a map dot
 Is it a mail box, says your last name
 The lonesome rumble of the coal train
 Is it a dust cloud, behind a John Deere
 And knowing you're never gonna leave here
 It's who I am
 It's who we are
 That's what makes
 A country heart
 And it's the sum
 Of all it's parts
 That's what makes
 A country heart
 Is it the grey ink in a tattoo
 You hid from your momma back in high school
 Is it your first beer or your first car
 Old war stories from your Grandpa
 Is it your first love on your first date
 Stealing a kiss up on the tailgate
 Is it a handshake from her old man
 Buying a ring and making big plans
 It's who I am
 It's who we are
 That's what makes
 A country heart
 And it's the sum
 Of all it's parts
 That's what makes
 A country heart
 Is it the long days starting sunrise
 Feeling alone under a big sky
 Is it the diesel, or the barbed wire
 Breaking your back to fight a bushfire
 Is it the new grass after a big flood
 Trying to be half the man your dad was
 Is it in the blood, is it in the genes
 Hard work, love and all that makes me
 Who I am
 It's who we are
 That's what makes
 A country heart
 And it's the sum
 Of all it's parts
 That's what makes
 A country heart
 Yeah that's what makes
 A country heart, A country heart
