There are some who go searching on the beach, you know
Amidst the bronzed bathing goddesses out of reach, you know
The invitations are appealing,
But the promises are hollow like a skull
I was tired of the cloying little games, you know
The conclusion I was seeking, it never came, you know
And though my eyes, they were weary
Well my heart was still flaring like a bull
And then I found you in the heartland and I know you will be true
Now my future looks brighter, I can see it with you
There are some who go searching through the bars, you know
Through the glittering, fading, shooting stars, you know
In the moonlight they're enchanting
But in a strong wind they're as fleeting as a match
I was tired of the languishing nights, you know
I was left in the shadows, never light, you know
And though my eyes, they were weary
Well my heart was still hoping to attach
And then I found you in the heartland and I know I can be sure
Now my future looks brighter because you will endure
I'd been left out, but then you let me in
I thought I'd lost, but then you let me win
Oh how can I tell you what you have done
Woman of the heartland, you are the one
Woman of the heartland, you are the one
