molly tuttle & golden highway - flatland girl lyrics

[verse 1]
driving through the land of lincoln always gets me thinking
of the flatlands where i come from and the life i left behind
the corn grew high on grandpa’s farm
now they boarded up the barn
that way of life from long ago just withered on the vine

[chorus]
you can take a girl out of the heartland
but you can’t take the heartland from the heart
of a flatland girl

[verse 2]
you can plant your dreams in god’s green acre
send ’em to heaven in a green elevator
but prayers don’t run a tractor
don’t promise the summer rain
and i found out when i was young
no farmеr’s day is never done
and whеn the hard times hit the heartland
and i had to move away
[chorus]
you can take a girl out of the heartland
but you can’t take the heartland from the heart
of a flatland girl

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
then one day from the windy city
in blew a man who could talk too pretty
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

[chorus]
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
