lyrics

There ain’t no mountains here. Ain’t no mountains here.
There ain’t no mountains here. Ain’t no mountains here.

There’s a whole lotta people growing up kind.
Strangers talk in the grocery line in Iowa, land of mine.
Whole lotta people doing what’s right.
Whole lotta people living their life in Iowa, land of mine.

People say, Why would you stay. People say, Why would you stay.

There ain’t no mountains here. Ain’t no mountains here.
There ain’t no mountains here. Ain’t no mountains here.

We ride our bikes across the state.
Pick the presidential fate in Iowa, land of mine.
Where a friend of yours is a friend of mine.
If you need help, you’ll find a line in Iowa, land of mine.

People say, Why would you stay. People say, Why would you stay.

There ain’t no mountains here. Ain’t no mountains here.
There ain’t no mountains here. Ain’t no mountains here.

Winter spring summer fall.
Champions of them all in Iowa, land of mine.
You got a dream, turn the page.
Find the world is your stage in Iowa, land of mine.
Plant a seed and watch it grow.
Ideas, kids, or garden grown in Iowa, land of mine.

People say, Why would you stay. People say, Why would you stay.

There ain’t no mountains here. There ain’t no mountains here.
There ain’t no mountains here. There ain’t no mountains here.
There ain’t no mountains here. Ain’t no mountains here.
There ain’t no mountains here. There ain’t no mountains here.
