“Heartland” is the first track off the 1992 George Strait album Pure Country. It is an example of musical opposites: The lyrics describe the narrator’s love of small-town living, but the music sounds more like arena rock than traditional country. In the context of the film, this song serves to show...
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
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 driving by
[Chorus]
Heartland was written by John Bettis & Steve Dorff.
