Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

HEARTLAND

 CHORUS
Heartland, Heartland,
Somethin' to believe in for every man,
Woman and child and barnyard critter 
in the Heartland.

Shade trees, bumblebees.
Put away a little for the deep freeze.
I got a one-way ticket
And I'm Followin' the breeze 
to the Heartland.

Thunderhead...I'm under the bed...
Hailstones fatter than my Granny's head
Knockin' shingles off the roof 
of the old homestead in the Heartland

BRIDGE
Wheatfields roll through the old dustbowl.
Corn tassels glowin' summer mornin'.

Sow's ear, silk purse
Spinnin' over Kansas in Dorothy's curse...
A combine rustin' in a cloudburst 
Thunder in the Heartland.

Autumn sky...pumpkin pie...
Missouri's got a law that says people can't fly.
They say you gotta have a permit 
and a reason why in the Heartland

Mark Twain, Jesse James,
Even Harry Truman would remember your name
Tellin' lies about Lincoln from the back
of a train through the Heartland.

BRIDGE
Wheatfields roll through that old dustbowl.
Storm clouds crawlin'... bullfrogs callin'.

Heat wave...a penny saved...
Watchin' all the yellowheads surfin' the waves
Rollin' amber to horizons that could
Make me a slave to the Heartland.

Meadowlark...Lewis and Clark,
Rowin' up the river in the birch bark
Lookin' for the eagles and the Indians
In the natural park called the Heartland.

CHORUS

Heartland, Heartland,
Somethin' to believe in for every man,
Woman and child and Garrison Keillor
in the Heartland.
