Tim Wheeler songs

The American Heart

VERSE 1

They walked him out with half his pride and a check for two weeks pay

Now he don’t work there anymore

Drove on down to the county seat to file an unemployment claim

A big ol’ line stretched out the door

Asked his dad, “Ever seen it this bad?” He said no, but his daddy had.

“Compared to him son, you and I been blessed

Life is more than a house or a car or how well-off people think you are

You need to trust what’s beating in your chest.”

CHORUS

Don't give up when life gets hard, if it don’t kill you you’ll get stronger

Jump back in and do your part / and you just might make it through.

When they tell you that it’s over, that’s a real good place to start

Don't ever underestimate the American heart

VERSE 2

He aint much into politics, it’s a sucker bet when the game is fixed

And guys in suits make all the rules

He just wants to be left alone, keep his wife and kids in their little home

Just give him half a chance and that’s what he’ll do

CHORUS

Don't give up when life gets hard, if it don’t kill you you’ll get stronger

Jump back in and do your part / and you just might make it through.

When they tell you that it’s over, that’s a real good place to start

Don't ever underestimate the American heart

Guitar Solo

Bridge

There’s a hope that’s runnin’ like a train

Through them purple mountains, and fruited plains

Pumpin’ hard to keep the dream alive!

CHORUS

Don't give up when life gets hard, if it don’t kill you you’ll get stronger

Jump back in and do your part / and you just might make it through.

When they tell you that it’s over, that’s a real good place to start

Don't ever underestimate the American heart
