Is it a wheat field behind a fence line A 12 gauge pepper on a road sign Is it a dirt road, off the blacktop Deadman's name beside a map dot Is it a mail box, says your last name The lonesome rumble of the coal train Is it a dust cloud, behind a John Deere And knowing you're never gonna leave here It's who I am It's who we are That's what makes A country heart And it's the sum Of all it's parts That's what makes A country heart Is it the grey ink in a tattoo You hid from your momma back in high school Is it your first beer or your first car Old war stories from your Grandpa Is it your first love on your first date Stealing a kiss up on the tailgate Is it a handshake from her old man Buying a ring and making big plans It's who I am It's who we are That's what makes A country heart And it's the sum Of all it's parts That's what makes A country heart Is it the long days starting sunrise Feeling alone under a big sky Is it the diesel, or the barbed wire Breaking your back to fight a bushfire Is it the new grass after a big flood Trying to be half the man your dad was Is it in the blood, is it in the genes Hard work, love and all that makes me Who I am It's who we are That's what makes A country heart And it's the sum Of all it's parts That's what makes A country heart Yeah that's what makes A country heart, A country heart
