Hellogoodbye - I Wanna See The States Lyrics






I wanna see the states
I wanna see the states
From the foggy Golden Gate
To the great Michigan lakes
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
We'll 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
That 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 with 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're next to the moon
South Carolina, we'll be getting there soon

But Ohio
Has got the most festivals
And swing votes

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 from downtown Des Moines Iowa

And 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
To 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 to Hartford, Connecticut
Can't help but love famous New Jersey etiquette
O'er in DC 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
It's far, how it's far
Between them

But take it form me, it's worth all the long car rides to see them
Just wait till you see Yosemite or New England
They'll 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 Dakotas
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
I wanna see the land

    I live in Kentucky, where there are horse farms in Lexington, coal mines in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, bourbons being made at the Jim Beam headquarters in Bullitt County, horses deciding to duke it out for the Kentucky Derby, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, and breathtaking scenery far as the eye could see! From the mountains of Eastern Kentucky to the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in Western Kentucky!
