TUNESMITH TUESDAY - "Heart of the Country" by Paul McCartney

SKIPNOTE: Years ago, my amazing writing partner, colleague, great friend, and adventure wife Jodi C. attended a house party where one of the guests was Paul McCartney. According to her, he was extremely humble and friendly. As they were speaking, she told him that her favorite song of his was "Heart of the Country," but he couldn't remember which one that was. So Jodi started to sing it, and Sir Paul then joined in! So one of her (many) claims to fame was that she jammed with one of the Beatles!

"Heart Of The Country"

I look high, I look low,

I'm lookin' ev'rywhere i go,

Lookin' for a home in the heart of the country.

I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,

I'm gonna tell ev'ryone I know,

Lookin' for a home in the heart of the country.

Heart of the country where the holy people grow,

Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow,

Wo, wo, wo.

Want a horse, I want a sheep,

I wanna get me a good night's sleep,

Livin' in a home in the heart of the country.

I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,

I'm gonna tell ev'ryone i know,

Livin' in a home in the heart of the country.

Heart of the country where the holy people grow,

Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow,

Wo, wo, wo.

Want a horse, I got a sheep,

I'm gonna get me a good night's sleep,

Livin' in a home in the heart of the country.

I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go,

Gonna tell ev'ryone i know, oo-oo-oo

In the heart of the country.

Heart of the country where the holy people grow,

Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow,

Wo, wo, wo.
