When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' 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

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
See the rain on the roof on a summer night
When they still know wrong from right
Sing a song about the heartland
Sing a song about my life

There's a place where mornings
Aren't in this blue
And you feel mother nature
Walk along with you
Where the simple people livin' side by side
Still wave to their neighbor
When there driving by
