I woke up, then dressed up,
walked a little, walked a little more,
I saw a bustle, a kind of hustle
that\'s the heartland I know.
If I walk out at eight,
pass through the gate,
there I see a lad,
washing the cars others had.
That\'s the heartland I know.
The first right turn,
I see the sun,
so, I make a run.
To take the next left turn,
so as to not make my skin burn.
That\'s the heartland I know.
Folk’s walking,
Neighbour\'s talking,
some eyes stalking.
That\'s the heartland I know.
Hello there! In every square,
to not have someone say it is quite rare.
That\'s the heartland I know.
There are pups running around,
The dam behind them is what I\'ve always found.
That\'s the heartland I know.
I walk a little more,
knock on the door.
A warm smile I\'m greeted with.
That\'s my rock that won\'t shift.
This is the heartland that I know.
