When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar,
  You're listening to the sound of the American heart.
  And Opry music on a Saturday night
  Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.
    Chorus:
  Sing a song about the heartland,
  The only place I feel at home.
  Sing about the way a good man
  Works until the daylight's gone.
  Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
  Where they still know wrong from right.
  Sing a song about the heartland.
  Sing a song about my life.
    Repeat Chorus:
    There's a place where mornings are an endless blue
  And you feel mother nature walk along with you,
  Where simple people living side by side
  Still wave to their neighbor when they're drivin' by.
    Repeat Chorus:
