The sixth track Heartland, a duet with Bob Dylan, contains the lyrics:

 

There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland

There's a well where the water's so bitter nobody can drink

Ain't no way to get high and my mouth is so dry that I can't speak

Don't they know that I'm dyin' why's nobody cryin' for me

My American dream fell apart at the seams

You tell me what it means you tell me what it means
