Driving through the Land of Lincoln
Always gets me thinkin'
Of the flatlands where I come from
And the life I left behind
Corn grew high on Grandpa's farm
Now they've boarded up the barn
That way of life from long ago
Just withered on the vine

You can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland
From the heart of a flatland girl

You can plant your dreams on God's green acre
Send them to heaven in a grain elevator
But prayers don't run a tractor
Or promise a summer rain
I found out when I was young
A farmer's day is never done
When the hard times hit the heartland and I had to move away

You can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland
From the heart of a flatland girl

Then one day from the Windy City
In blew a man who could talk so pretty
He had a long look and grandpa shook
That's been five years ago
Nowadays when I'm up in the Land of Lincoln
I ask myself what were they thinking
All that's left is a photograph of the flatland fields of home

You can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland
From the heart

You can take a girl out of the heartland
But you can't take the heartland
From the heart of a flatland girl
