(Just for me)
0:33 - 1:23
First I'm gonna see, Nashville Tennessee
Then Madison, Wisconsin is where I gotta be, yeah
Then I'll take a plane
(Well actually I'm afraid to fly so I think I'll take the train)
Let's go
Going to Trenton, New Jersey
Frankfurt, Kentucky
Maybe take a trip to Jackson, Mississippi
Let's see what they can show me in Jefferson City Missouri
Santa Fe New Mexico; Denver Colorado
Boise Idaho I love it every time that I go
In 1492, he sailed the ocean blue
But next week I'll see Columbus in Ohio
Grab a little sunshine in Tallahassee Florida
Take a bite of a peach in Atlanta Georgia
Never been to Carson City in Nevada or Lincoln, Nebraska
You can catch me in Pheonix, Arizona or Sacromento California, yeah
ST. Paul Minnesota maybe Juneau Alaska yeah
0:33 - 1:23

CHORUS

1:43 - 2:32
Boston Massachusetts; Concord New Hampshire
Going to Vermont for Montpelier
Montgomery, Alabama then Washington DC
To see the nation's capitol
Aloha to Honolulu, Hawaii
(De moin) Des Moines, Iowa, so peaceful to me
Going to Springfield, Illinois to build a little house on a prairie
In Little Rock, Arkansas, I love what I saw
Going back to Dover, Delaware cause I want more
Indianapolis, Indiana and Hartford Connecticut need an encore
Smelling pine trees in Augusta Maine
I like Topeka Kansas I'm glad that I came
But I've never been to Salt Lake city
In the Utah or Richmond Virginia
Gonna see Bismarck North Dekota
And Charleston West Virginia, yeah
Annapolis Maryland, maybe
Lansing Michigan, yeah
1:43 - 2:32

2:32 - 3:08
Helena Montana; Columbia South Carolina
Got to go to Pierre South Dakota, yeah, follow if you wanna
I'll be eating a banana in Baton Rouge Louisiana
Schedule that on my planner
Friends say I gotta come sooner to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
So I guess I'm gonna
But first I'm going to Cheyenne Wyoming
Then party in Raleigh, North Carolina yeah
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, can't think of a ryhme for Pennsylvania
So I'm skipping to Salem, Oregon and Austin, Texas
And then maybe Albany, New York for breakfast
Providence, Rhode Island, was a blast
And Olympia, Washington was just the bestest.
2:32 - 3:08

My granddaughter’s state is North Carolina and she just loves ❤ this song so much. She was adopted and never met her parents, but she knows a few facts about them and really wants to meet them. My granddaughter’s name is Mariah Dailey and I would really appreciate it if all of y’all would pray for her. 2:52 is the part. She just loves ❤ this song so much she plays it all the way to school instead of the radio. Please pray for her. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
