Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I really wanna be
We meeting my little girl
When I get home she'll be watching for me
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
Thatā²s were my heart belongs
Meadowlands, oh Meadowlands
At the end of a working day
I'm on my way back home
Meadowlands is leading the way
Calling me as I travel the road
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
Thatā²s were my heart belongs
Meadowlands, oh Meadowlands
Itā²s my heart starts singing the song
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
That's were my heart belongs
Meadowlands, oh Meadowlands
Itā²s my heart starts singing the song
Oh yeah la la la la la
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
Meadowlands you're always freeing my heart
Your the place where the melody grooves
Everyday that we are apart
Iā²m always thinking of you
Oh Meadowlands, Meadowlands
That's were my heart belongs
Meadowlands, oh Meadowlands
Itā²s my heart starts singing the song
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
That's were my heart belongs
Meadowlands, oh Meadowlands

Meadowlands, Meadowlands

Meadowlands, Meadowlands
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
Meadowlands, Meadowlands
