First light in a field of gold
Wheels turning on an open road
Thousand miles from the ocean breeze
Sweating in 45 degrees
Hands working ’til the sun goes down
Dust rising from the broken ground
Country girls in the summertime
Singing “Run to Paradise”
I know I’m home now
Here in this land of mine
See the fire burning
Through the droughts and driving rains
See the flood-ripped desert plains
Come back to life
I can feel the thunder
Like a heartbeat in the night
See the stars of county shine down on me, yeah
I know I’m home now
Here in this land of mine
Out there on the river’s edge
Where the dreaming never ends
A place frozen still in time
That’s a place I was born to find
I know I’m home now
Here in this land of mine
See the fire burning
Through the droughts and driving rains
See the flood-ripped desert plains
Come back to life
I can feel the thunder
Like a heartbeat in the night
See the stars of county shine down on me, yeah
I know I’m home now
Here in this land of mine
I’m heading in the right direction
This time I know we’re gonna go the distance
Together we can take this all the way
See the fire burning
Through the droughts and driving rains
See the flood-ripped desert plains
Come back to life
Can you feel the thunder
Like a heartbeat in the night
See the stars of county shine down on me, yeah
I know I’m home now
Here in this land of mine
Here in this land of mine
Here in this land of mine
Here in this land of mine
Here in this land of mine
