I AM JUST A MIDWESTERN GIRL AT HEART

Words and Music by Florence Grigsby Roberts

Verse

We're not jealous of the Grande Dames in Boston or the Socialites on Capitol Hill. We wouldn't trade places with the Southern Belles in Austin or the Movie Stars in Beverly Hills.

(Copyright 1981, by Florence Grigsby Roberts)----

Chorus

I am just a Midwestern girl at heart. From the Land of Lincoln we'll never part. We're so proud of our heritage that so many people helped build. There's no place with greater prestige than Springfield. It's a thrill to----

know that we're nearly home. When we see the big silver State House dome. People are so friendly, you'll find, When you come to visit the Shrines in Springfield Illinois.
