When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' 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

Repeat chorus

. . .



All you know it all lovers better heed some advice,
If you're bad to your baby, you'd better think twice.
Love don't come easy, love ain't blind.
You've got to show her you love her, morning and night,
Be there for her just to make things right.
Make her believe till there ain't a doubt in her mind.

Chorus:
Better baby your baby with a love that's strong,
Hold her and tell her you'll never do wrong.
Better baby your Baby, 'cause if you don't
One day your baby'll be gone.

Don't let her get lonely, don't make her cry,
Don't take her for granted, don't tell her a lie.
Bring her red roses when she's blue.
Give her the best of what you've got to give,
You'll be together as long as you live,
Better baby your Baby, she'll baby you.

Repeat Chorus

. . .



Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow

Chorus:
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine

You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there's still breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be

Chorus

And if along the way we find a day
It starts to storm
You've got the promise of my love
To keep you warm

. . .



When did you stop lovin' me?
How long have I been a memory?
I've got to know for my own sanity
Tell me when did you stop lovin' me?

Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn?

You know that night has haunted me for so long

Or was your love already cold?
Tell me please I got to know
Darlin' when did you stop lovin' me?
There was a time when you
worshipped where I stood
Heaven knows I'd bring it back if I could

Now I can tell when we make love
It ain't me you're thinkin' of
Tell me when did you stop lovin' me?
Darlin', when did you stop lovin' me?

. . .



Her hair is red
And her eyes are green
She's soft and tender
But she can be mean
She knows what it takes to keep me
right on track
And when it comes to love'n
She don't hold noth'n back....

When she loves me..
She's nearly out of control...
When she loves me...
It come from deep in her soul...
When she loves me...
I know she's all mine...
When my baby loves me,
She lays it all on the line.

Out Honky Tonky'in
where the lights are down low...
She always ask the band...
to play something'n real slow..
When we get home I know she'll
take up the slack...
Cause when it comes to love'in
she don't hold noth'in back....

When she loves me
It the things that she says,
When she loves me,
She's way out on the edge,
When she loves me,
I lose track of time
When my baby loves me,
She lays it all on the line.

My baby taught me someth'in
everybody should learn
When you play with fire,
It's alright to get burned,
You really don't mine it
if you lose or you win
The only way to do it
is to get out on that limb

. . .



Let me be your male-man
And I'll always come though
There's no denying'
Come rain or shine
I'll deliver my love to you
I do things by the letter
You can put your stamp on me
Cause there ain't nobody better
For a special delivery

Chorus:
Like the pony express
And the wild wild west
I'll ride hard all night long
And I can saddle up fast
Get ya there first class
Long before the dawn
You know your male's gonna get to you
Come snow, rain, sleet, or hail
Cause I'm a top flight, hold ya tight, get ya there by daylight
Do you right overnight male

I know your heart is fragile
So I'll handle it with care
There ain't no doubt
I know love's route
So baby let me take you there
I'll bring you cards and flowers
But I know just what you need
Just give me 24 hours
Satisfaction guaranteed

Chorus

You know your male's gonna get to you
Come snow, rain, sleet, or hail
Cause I'm a top flight, hold ya tight, get ya there by daylight
Do ya right overnight male
Yeah I'm a top flight, hold ya tight, get ya there by daylight
Do ya right overnight male

Blues outside my door
I don't even know if it's rainin'
But I've been here before
And I don't want to be here anymore
Every now and then
Voices on the wind
Call me back to the first time
Far away and clear
You can hear the teardrops
Fallin' for the last in love

If I let you down
All I can say is I'm sorry
Now it's all over town
So I don't want to hear it from you
Please don't look away
It's hard enought to say
This could go on forever
When the night is clear
I can hear the teardrops
Fallin' for the last in love

Every now and then
Voices on the wind
I may love you always and always
Far away and clear
you can hear the teardrops
Fallin' for the last in love
Callin' for the last in love
Will we always be the last in love

. . .



I had a love and it was all mine
I drove her out, I must've been blind
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud
She loved me so, but I was untrue
She's gone for good, what can I do
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud

There's not a thing that I can say about her
Except I don't know how I'm going to live without her
I had a love and it was all mine
I watched it fade a kiss at a time
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud

. . .



The King of Broken Hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
And he has quite a few of them
They know he will understand
That's just the way it goes

TheKing of Broken Hearts doesn't know he's a king
He's tryin' to forget other things
Like some old ship at sea
He's walkin' through life alone

He talks to angels
And the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
He recalls how his heart got broken
And how it's still that way

The King of Broken Hearts is so sad and wise
He can smile while he's cryin' inside
We know he'll be brave tonight
Cause he's the King of Broken Hearts

He talks to angels
And the stars start to spin
He thinks of the troubles that he's gotten in
He recalls how his heart got broken
And how it's still that way

The King of Broken Hearts thinks that he's no fool
He's a little like me and you
So what's a King like that supposed to do
With all that blue time
We know he'll be brave tonight
Cause he's the King of Broken Hearts
He's the King of Broken Hearts

Where the sidewalk ends
and the road begins
We said good bye
on a cold dark night
I'm not afraid to go
you bet I'm not
Where the sidewalk ends
you left a lot
Some people leave
and never come back
Some stay in touch
Some loose track
Your mind kept sayin'
come on let's go
You started learnin'
what you don't need to know
Where the sidewalk ends
and the road begins
I'll wait for you
in the cold dark night
You might come back
You had to go
Where the sidewalk ends
I'll never know
Hide from the future
run from the past
I guess I'll stay here
as long as I can last
Whistle still blowin'
but the train is gone
Ain't no wheels
gonna take me from my home
Where the sidewalk ends
and the road begins
We said good bye
on a cold dark night
I'm not afraid to go
you bet I'm not
Where the sidewalk ends
you left a lot
I'm not afraid to go
you bet I'm not
Where the sidewalk ends
you left a lot
Where the sidewalk ends
and the road begins
We said good bye
on a cold dark night
I'm not afraid to go
you bet I'm not
Where the sidewalk ends
you left a lot
Where the sidewalk ends
you left a lot
Where the sidewalk ends
you left a lot

George Jr.:
When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' 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

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

George:
There's a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you
Where simple people livin' side by side
Still wave to their neighbor when they're drivin' by

Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about my life
