It’s the hills and the big oak trees
The slow running river
I was the first for you
You were the first for me
And your brown eyes made me shiver
Memories always come together
The land and your part
I still believe you hold a piece of me
And I hold you, too, in this Iowa heart.
Iowa heart
Rows of corn and my innocence reborn
among the fields with you
there was nothing else we could
Played so hard in the yard
Till the darkness to the sky and we never wanted to say goodbye
Memories always come together
The land and your part
I still believe you hold a piece of me
And I hold you, too, in this Iowa heart.
Iowa heart
I still remember our last dance
It was the perfect song
It could have been the best romance
I knew even then it had no chance
And now I catch you in this backward glance
I hold you, too
I hold you in this
Iowa heart
