Lyrics
It’s raining in Los Angeles hallelujah hallelu
Moonflowers open to breathe the night’s perfume
The city climbs the hillside just to see the color bloom
Petals turn a sidewalk stream jacaranda blue
Where is the heart of my country
Flying over Oklahoma fields and broken ground
Every mile cut up into squares of green and brown
Like a quilt unfinished like a fiddle singing a low and lonesome sound
See the land before black gold and heavy plow
Where is the heart of my country
Where is the heart of my country now
Golden skyway westbound highway birds in a church choir
The sun sets down in the grass like wildfire
Young horse runs at the fence line just to test his own desire
Plastic bags like prayer flags the wind caught on the wire
Where is the heart of my country
Where is the heart of my country now
Radio tower’s red light warning carried on the wind
In the shadow of the mountain a church bell’s ringing
From California’s burning forests to the New York island
Can you hear the chorus of voices asking
Where is the heart of my country
Where is the heart of my country
Where is the heart of my country
Where is the heart of my country now
