I Wanna See the States |
| Oh, how did you get to this town? |
| Was it where you were born or did you move around? |
| California’s got places down south |
| We can lay in the sun on the beach |
| Drive up the Oregon coast |
| It’s rocky and lighthouses dot it for most of the way |
| Through to Washington—Cascadian snow |
| On the tips of Olympian peaks |
| North to Alaska and we had no fear |
| We were on to the future, the final frontier |
| While in Hawaii they’re probably righteously surfing the worlds greatest breaks |
| But oh, Idaho |
| Has got the most respectable |
| Folks we know |
| We’ll follow the Rockies and never stop roaming |
| Through Colorado, Montana, Wyoming |
| Down in New Mexico, we’re eating green chilies |
| Hit the slopes up in Park City, Utah |
| Well I wanna see the states |
| I wanna see the states |
| From Nevada’s Vegas strange to the wicked pines of Maine |
| I wanna see the states |
| Deep down in Texas there’s bright starry skies |
| Oklahomians all realize |
| The sun never sets, we’re just spinning around |
| Spun up to Kansas and clung to the ground |
| Slipped off the great plain to Southern Missouri |
| A creek and a sunset and no need to hurry |
| Just lazily drifting the great Mississippi |
| Through Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky |
| Down to the bayous of Louisiana |
| Glowing fireflies down in Alabama |
| Lit up your face like you were next to the moon |
| South Carolina, we’ll be getting there soon |
| But Ohio |
| Has got the most festivals |
| And swing votes |
| We’ll span Indiana right over the crossroads |
| In Illinois we had deep dish and hot dogs |
| Cornhuskers score a Nebraskan point and I |
| Hear some music in downtown Des Moines, Iowa |
| Well I wanna see the states |
| I wanna see the states |
| From Florida’s southern cays to the Delaware tax rates |
| I wanna see the states |
| I wanna dip my feet into the sand |
| I wanna dive into the Rio Grande |
| From the tall Virginian trees to a sultry Georgian breeze |
| I wanna see the land |
| Fall in New Hampshire we stopped by the woods |
| With paid parking meters by rogue Robin Hoods |
| Freedom and unity o’er in Vermont |
| There’s hope in Rhode Island to live how you want |
| So live how you like but I love Massachusetts |
| New York’s got places where we can get loose |
| It’s like everything you ever wanted at once |
| We’ll go upstate and we can stay there for months |
| We’ll cut through the forests of Hartford, Connecticut |
| Can’t help but love famous New Jersey etiquette |
| Or in D.C. on the Capitol Hill |
| Historic decisions are being made still |
| The West Virginian mountains are wild and wonderful |
| North Carolina where autumn is colorful |
| Crabbing in Maryland, hoagies in Harrisburg |
| Pennsylvania declared us America |
| But it’s far |
| It’s far (x2) |
| Oh it’s far |
| Between them |
| But take it from me it’s worth all the long car rides to see them |
| Just wait till you see |
| Yosemite or New England |
| They make you believe in life, liberty, and freedom |
| Well I wanna see the states |
| I wanna see the states |
| From the lakes of Minnesota to the North and South Dakota |
| I wanna see the states |
| I wanna dip my feet into the sand |
| I wanna dive into the Rio Grande |
| From the Arizona desert to Wisconsin’s snowy weather |
| I wanna see the land (x2) |
