Rachel Rhodes - "Heartland" lyrics




Heartland

Baby, take me back again
Lead me slowly with your hands
Remind me where my heart lands

Winter feels colder with you gone
Now we're older; the years pass on
But don't forget; I haven't yet

No matter where I go
I'm always headed home
Never really left that place at all
And if I tried
Always knew that I'd
End up here again
In the heartland
Heartland

Seems so familiar, like nothing's changed
No one, not ever, took your place

No matter where I go
I'm always headed home
Never really left that place at all
And if I tried
Always knew that I'd 
End up here again
In the heartland 

(Repeat chorus)

Heartland
'Cause baby, you're my heartland
Heartland

This is what me and my friend presented to the class.
