She could see him comin' from a mile away Kickin' 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 tellin' what they'd find
They felt the rhythm of the wind Blowin' 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 somethin' It ain't called heartland for nothin'
The thing about bein' from a town that small Is everyone's lookin' 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 stayin' for And they've been together ever since
They felt the rhythm of the wind Blowin' 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 somethin' It ain't called heartland for nothin'
Oh they felt the rhythm of the wind Blowin' 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 somethin' It ain't called heartland for nothin'
