Music

And if you want to learn about the heartland sing it.If you want to learn about the heartland sing itIt's the Midwest Region, so sing homie.If you want to learn about the heartland sing.

Lets dance, lets shakeby the Great Lakesits Michigan and Wisconsin.In Minnesota, its cold and have you been toldthat Illinois is the Land of Lincoln.You'll see lots of scarecrows,corn stalks in rows,and cows in the pasture.The wind always blowsand now its time to go.This is the Midwest Region!
