It Ain't Called Heartland (For Nothin')

(album: Live, Laugh, Love - 1999)

She could see him coming from a mile away
Kicking up dust down the dirt road
She ran and met him at the front gate
Hopped in the truck and said let's go
You wouldn't think there'd be much to do
So far from the city lights
But give two kids all that room
And there's no telling what they'd find

They felt the rhythm of the wind
Blowing through the wheat fields
The sun wasn't all that fell
As the moon began to rise
Beneath the stars in each other's arms
They were onto something
It ain't called heartland for nothing

The thing about being from a town that small
Is everyone's looking for a way out
But that never crossed their minds at all
After twenty good years there's no doubt
The two of them saw so much more
Than corn and barbed wire fence
They found a love worth staying for
And they've been together ever since

They felt the rhythm of the wind
Blowing through the wheat fields
The sun wasn't all that fell
As the moon began to rise
Beneath the stars in each other's arms
They were onto something
It ain't called heartland for nothing

Oh they felt the rhythm of the wind
Blowing through the wheat fields
The sun wasn't all that fell
As the moon began to rise
Beneath the stars in each other's arms
They were onto something
It ain't called heartland for nothing

We're in heartland, heartland
