Dust Bowl Heart

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunrise paints the highway gold
A story that's never been told
Got my guitar and a heart of dust
In this old truck, learning to trust
Whiskey nights and a tear-stained face
Searching for my rightful place
[Chorus]
This dust bowl heart, it beats so strong
Singing my resilient song
Through the plains and the endless sky
A woman's spirit will never die
Pedal steel cries a lonely tune
Beneath the pale prairie moon
[Verse]
Heard the blues in a honky-tonk bar
Saw my reflection in a Mason jar
Lucinda's ache, Gillian's grace
Finding my rhythm, setting my pace
Analog warmth, a live room sound
On this hallowed, dusty ground
[Chorus]
This dust bowl heart, it beats so strong
Singing my resilient song
Through the plains and the endless sky
A woman's spirit will never die
Pedal steel cries a lonely tune
Beneath the pale prairie moon
[Bridge]
Dobro glows like a setting sun
Another mile, another one
Modulations in the chords I find
Leaving the weary world behind
[Verse]
Banjo plucks a fragile thread
Words unspoken, left unsaid
But the truth comes out in every slide
Nowhere left for me to hide
This road-worn soul, it knows the way
To greet the dawn of a brand new day
[Chorus]
This dust bowl heart, it beats so strong
Singing my resilient song
Through the plains and the endless sky
A woman's spirit will never die
Pedal steel cries a lonely tune
Beneath the pale prairie moon
[Outro]
