Hard County Songtext
von Matt King

When I hear the whistle of an old freight train
A-cuttin′ through the night it sounds like pain
Of someone leavin'
Fire and smoke from a hot steel mill
Lonesome cry of a whippoorwill
Gets me thinkin′

About hearts and souls, back dirt roads
Blood, tears and bones, it's part of me
Hard country

A boot heel's hittin′ on a hardwood floor
A pretty girl walkin′ through a swingin' door
Heads are turnin′
A bottle of tears on a star do' bar
Lightning licks on a lead guitar
Fingers burnin′


And it's hearts and souls, back dirt roads
Blood, tears and bones, it′s part of me
Hard country
Hard country

Corn rows up, tractors down
Breakin' your back on the rock hard ground
That's unforgivin′
Broken hearts, sad goodbyes
Daddy′s gone and mama cries
It's part of livin′

And it's hearts and souls, back dirt roads
Blood, tears and bones, it′s part of me
Hard country
Hard country
Well it's a part of me
Hard country
Hard country
