Minnesota...you are my home.

           by

Been up to the mountains, walked down by the sea

Home is where I put my heart, the place I choose to be

Sometimes my life’s been lonely, but it taught me how to cry

Now I’m lying ‘neath the Northern Lights of a Minnesota night.

The moon shines down on the lake tonight, the loon calls out her plea

The pine trees tall in the forest deep, have set my heart free

Sometimes my life gets crazy, but I’ve always gotten by

Standing ‘neath the Northern Lights of sa Minnesota Night

The lone wolf howls in the darkness, trying to find its way

Walks beneath the Northern Lights into that promised day

I’ll reach my destination, just keep looking to the sky

Walking ‘neath the Northern Lights of a Minnesota night.
