Sweet Home Minnesota
By Matt Shultz, summer 2006
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me north to see my kin
There we'll eat a lot of junk food
Playing cards till 3 AM

Just beyond Reese's cabin
Turn at the Derr Crossing sign
Driveway's chock full of minivans
A tree limb just landed on mine

Sweet home Minnesota
Jumping off the pontoon
Sweet home Minnesota
Try not to land on a loon

Amy said she caught a big fish
But I suspect it was litte
Instead for lunch we'll eat some pancakes
With Drewfus cooking at the griddle

Sweet home Minnesota
Where the kids love to dance
Sweet home Minnesota
With strawberry weevils in our pants

The put boulders round the firepit
And built a staircase out of rocks
At midnight we can't find the children
'Cus they're still jumping off the dock

Sweet home Minnesota
Take a bath in the lake
Sweet home Minnesota
The come grab some birthday cake

Sweet home Minnesota
Eating corn by the ear
Sweet home Minnesota
We hope to see you next year!
