about

A quick musical tour of just some of the great places in the greatest country in the world.

lyrics

Kansas wheat fields, golden waves.
Georgia pines and present slaves.
Hard at work in Atlanta, New York skyline glittering night.
California dreaming of days in flight.
San Francisco's quaking Louisiana hayride it's a Creole swamp land.
Colorado gold mines spitting sand.

Vermont maple syrup. Huge snowflakes.
Minnesota land of lakes. A playground for Minneapolis, Minneapolis Saint Paul. Texas oil wells that rise above it all.
Illinois high rise spreading growing.
Chicago takes what it needs. Montana mountains big sky high.

Mississippi river streaming by. St. Louis gateway.
Denver, city in the sky. North Carolina the first in flight.
Florida peninsula is shining bright.
To be rather than to seem. The people always rule.
Welcome to my home sweet home.
