Here in the Heartlands, USA
robbi atkins


VERSE:

Well a friend of mine asked me
what it’s like living where i do.
aren’t the thrills few and far between
is anything ever new.

and i said……
there’s nothing quite like a country sunrise
or a sky lit up by only stars and fireflies
the smell of home cooking everywhere
or the taste of BBQ down at the fair.

prechorus:

and i’m living with all of that and with 
the kind of people who…..


chorus:

like taking life at slower paces
simple things and friendly faces

who work factory days, love dance hall nights
rodeos and football lights

 They care for the land that feeds them
offer hands to those who need them

oh i wouldn’t have it any other way
here in the heartland, usa 


VERSE:

i said well some things may never change
but that doesn’t mean they get old
they never fail to fascinate me
and every day they feed my soul 


fall asleep with the crickets, wake up with the birds
the feel of cold creek water or your hands in the dirt
and the rows of corn dancing in the plains
or  a breath of air that pure after the rain


prechorus:

and i’m living with all  of that and with
the kind of people who…..

chorus:

like taking life at slower paces
simple things and friendly faces

who work factory days, love dance hall nights
rodeos and football lights

 and care for the land that feeds them
offer hands to those who need them

oh i wouldn’t have it any other way
here in the heartlands, USA


oh, i wouldn’t have it any other way…….
here in the heartlands, USA…….
