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 [Chorus: x2] 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
