Lyrics
Verse 1)
Met a brown-eyed girl from Virginia Beach,
Through a screen I never thought love could reach.
She was chasing dreams in nursing school,
I was teachin’ lessons, playin’ it cool.
Two hearts young, but faith ran deep,
Moved in with my folks just to make ends meet.
(Pre-Chorus)
Didn’t have much, just love to start,
But, girl, you owned this southern heart.
(Chorus)
From the coastline breeze to the Texas sun,
We’ve built a life and we still ain’t done.
Two grown kids and one still small,
You’re the reason I’ve had it all.
Through long nights workin’ and lessons planned,
We found heaven in the heartland.
Through every mile, every call,
Yeah, you’re my Heaven in the Heartland.
(Verse 2)
In 2004 we said “I do,”
Started this road with a dream or two.
‘08 came, you earned that pin,
I swear I fell in love again.
Years rolled by, but the flame still glows,
Even brighter than the day it chose.
(Pre-Chorus)
Through highs and lows we’ve learned to dance,
Still thank the Lord for a second chance.
(Chorus)
From the coastline breeze to the Texas sun,
We’ve built a life and we still ain’t done.
Two grown kids and one still small,
You’re the reason I’ve had it all.
Through late-night shifts with tired hands,
We found heaven in the heartland.
Through every mile, every call,
Yeah, you’re my Heaven in the Heartland.
(Bridge)
Now it’s porchlight nights and big sky views,
But every sunset feels brand new.
Wherever fate decides we stand,
Your love’s my Heaven in the Heartland.
(Final Chorus)
From Virginia dreams to a Texas dawn,
We’ve come so far but the love rolls on.
Two grown kids and one still small,
You’re the reason I’ve had it all.
When I hold you close, I understand,
We found Heaven in the Heartland.
(Outro)
Yeah, Jen, you’re my Heaven in the Heartland.
Forever yours, your forever man.
