lyrics

The State I'm In

oh carry me to Carolina and Georgia and Florida
the Mississippi shines, Texas is the reason that we die
New Mexico is so pretty at night
and I had dream in Arizona - carried me to California on the breeze
the Redwoods have a part of me.
And There's a city of lost souls and there's no angel's there I know
And I won't go and I won't go there anymore.

So carry me from sea to shining sea
Oh carry me as far as I can be
Oh carry me from sea to shining sea
Oh carry me…

I'll miss the ever changing seasons so I'll go home while it's freezing
New York I'm always leaving you-
I spent my life a part of you so I'll see you soon - like I always do
on up the mountains in New Hampshire
I left something there I'm quite sure
I've never been to Maine - I hear it's all the same but colder
Massachusetts and Connecticut I guess we're all a part of it now.

So carry me from sea to shining sea
Oh carry me as far as I can be
Oh carry me from sea to shining sea
Oh carry Me as far as I can be…
As far as I can be...

In Memphis Tennessee - I've lost a part of me
and New Orleans - you've got my love to keep
And St. Louis - you've stolen lots from me!
Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois - I left some parts of me there so I can plant my seeds
Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Washington
And Oregon I won't be gone, I won't be gone too long.

So carry me from sea to shining sea
Oh carry me as far as I can be
Oh carry me from sea to shining sea
Oh carry me…

To Montana, The Dakotas, Minnesota, Oklahoma
Pennsylvania's everywhere - it keeps an eye on Delaware
West Virginia - mountain momma, the sweetest tea's in Virginia
this is no Maryland, this is no Maryland
this is just the state i'm in
I've lost my mind in Michigan again.

Oh carry me…
Oh carry me… Oh New Jersey
down to D.C.
I'll catch the breeze to Hawaii

oh yeah- Vermont, Alaska, Iowa, Utah, Nevada, Florida, and Colorado, and Rhode Island, and Wisconsin
I almost forgot them, I almost forgot them!
