Intro

Minnesota - I can almost smell the air.

 I can feel her hand, and my feet in the sand

 in the lakes under trees back home.

Minnesota - You're the gateway to my soul.

You are in my blood, soil's thicker than mud,

in the land where the waters roll.

You know I faded away...in Cali - forn - i - a

 I was thinking, I was gonna duck the snow

But what I'd give to go back now,

and see the snow coming down

on the pines and the parkways way back ho-e-o-e-ome

Minnesota - How I miss those sail-on days

I miss the stormy nights and the northern light

in the starry skies back home

Interlude

I've been a runaway, I've seen my hobo days

I thought I'd shake the hay from my shoes

But how I'd love to smell the sweetness

of the corn and the wheat between us

and see the lakes that glisten in the su-e-u-e-un

Minnesota, well you know I'll make it back

you can count someday I'll be coming your way

with a heart full of hope once more

Minnesota, I almost see the time,

the golden leaves blowing free in the breeze,

a clear blue water's shore

Dit-dit-dit dit-dit I'm coming home

Dit-dit-dit dit-dit I'm coming home

Dit-dit-dit dit-dit

Dit-dit-dit dit-dit Back to my country now yeah

Dit dit dit dit-dit I'm coming home

Dit-dit-dit dit-dit I'm coming home

Dit-dit-dit dit-dit

Dit-dit-dit dit-dit Back to my country now yeah
