Heart of the Country Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I look high, I look low
I'm looking everywhere I go
Looking for a home in the heart of the country
I'm gon' move, I'm gon' go
I'm gon' tell everyone I know
Looking for a home in the heart of the country
[Chorus]
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Woah, woah, woah
[Verse 2]
Want a horse, I want a sheep
I wanna get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home in the heart of the country
I'm gon' move, I'm gon' go
I'm gon' tell everyone I know
Living in a home in the heart of the country
[Chorus]
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Woah, woah, woah
I look high, I look low
I'm looking everywhere I go
Looking for a home in the heart of the country
I'm gon' move, I'm gon' go
I'm gon' tell everyone I know
Looking for a home in the heart of the country
[Chorus]
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Woah, woah, woah
[Verse 2]
Want a horse, I want a sheep
I wanna get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home in the heart of the country
I'm gon' move, I'm gon' go
I'm gon' tell everyone I know
Living in a home in the heart of the country
[Chorus]
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Woah, woah, woah
[Verse 3]
Want a horse, I got a sheep
I'm gonna get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home in the heart of the country
I'm gon' move, I'm gon' go
Gon' tell everyone I know
In the heart of the country
[Chorus]
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Woah, woah, woah
Want a horse, I got a sheep
I'm gonna get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home in the heart of the country
I'm gon' move, I'm gon' go
Gon' tell everyone I know
In the heart of the country
[Chorus]
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Woah, woah, woah
About
Genius Annotation
In an attempt to duck out of the public eye, Paul, Linda and her daughter Heather moved to Scotland, inadvertently fueling more “Paul is dead rumors.”
This song is a lovely tribute to that style of living.
