Make it Home

Verse 1

Old red barn

Fading out by the interstate

Corn stalks brown

Left to the wind and the winter weight

Tractors rust

Iron bones in the heavy dust

I remember when

Truly remember when

Chorus

Bring back the glory to the prairie soil

The honest sweat and the daily toil

Make it home again

Make it home again

Lift up the valley and the river town

Where the sun goes up and the rain comes down

Let the golden fields start to rise

Underneath these big blue skies

Post-Chorus

Rise up

Rise up

Home again

Home again

Verse 2

Main Street

Closed

Windows boarded on the square

Ghost towns

Cold

Missing all the families there

Empty lots

Tangled vines in the parking spots

We need a change

Need a brand new range

Chorus

Bring back the glory to the prairie soil

The honest sweat and the daily toil

Make it home again

Make it home again

Lift up the valley and the river town

Where the sun goes up and the rain comes down

Let the golden fields start to rise

Underneath these big blue skies

Bridge

From the lake down to the southern tip

Don't let the promise start to slip

Work the land

Heal the land

Build the land

Everything we need is in our hand

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Bring back the glory to the prairie soil

The honest sweat and the daily toil

Make it home again

Make it home again

Lift up the valley and the river town

Where the sun goes up and the rain comes down

Let the golden fields start to rise

Underneath these big blue skies

Outro

State of mine

Illinois

Fix the line

Illinois

Home again

Home again
