Elizabeth Minnesota

The big city life sounds exciting
In the letters you have been writing
I suppose I should feel I'm missing out on something
Cause no TV shows are made here
To be true, that's why I've stayed here
Where the world's concerned it seems that we've got nothing

But that cold Pelican River
And the sound when the birch trees quiver
Elizabeth Minnesota is my home
I love the turning of the seasons
And the smiles of old Norwegians
Elizabeth Minnesota is my home

I love my dad's homegrown tomatoes
And my grandma's scalloped potatoes
Elizabeth Minnesota is my home
Well you might call me hillbilly
But what you think don't matter really
Elizabeth Minnesota is my home

Well I like the idea of coming out to see ya
But on a crowded street I think I'd feel alone
The folks are awful nice here and I like the snow and ice here
Elizabeth Minnesota is my home

The Northern lights I'd rather see 'em
Than some picture in a museum
Yes Elizabeth Minnesota is my home
I love the call of the loons in the night time
And the gold hay bales in the sunshine
Elizabeth Minnesota is my home

Then the alarm goes off in the morning
And it's always disappointing
When I realize it's been years since
I've been gone I work all day and evening
But forever I am dreaming
That Elizabeth Minnesota Is My Home
