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
