I Wanna See The States - Hellogoodbye

Lyrics by：Forrest Kline

Composed by：Forrest Kline

I wanna see the states

I wanna see the states

From the foggy Golden Gate

To the great Michigan lakes

I wanna see the states

Oh how did you get to this town

Was it where you were born or did you move around

California's got places down south

We can lay in the sun on the beach

Drive up the Oregon coast

It's rocky and lighthouses dot it for most

Of the way through to Washington Cascadian snow

On the tips of Olympian peaks

North to Alaska and we had no fear

We were on to the future the final frontier

While in Hawaii they're probably righteously

Surfing the worlds greatest breaks

But oh Idaho

Has got the most respectable

Folks we know

We'll follow the Rockies and never stop roaming

Through Colorado Montana Wyoming

Down in new Mexico we're eating green chilies

We'll hit the slopes up in park city Utah

Well I wanna see the states

I wanna see the states

From Nevada's Vegas strange

To the wicked pines of Maine

I wanna see the states

Deep down in Texas there's bright starry skies

Oklahomians all realize

The sun never sets we're just spinning around

Spun up to Kansas and clung to the ground

Slipped off the great plain to Southern Missouri

A creek and a sunset with no need to hurry

Just lazily drifting the great Mississippi

Through Tennessee Arkansas and Kentucky

Down to the bayous of Louisiana

Glowing fireflies down in Alabama

Lit up your face like you're next to the moon

South Carolina we'll be getting there soon

But Ohio

Has got the most festivals

And swing votes

Span Indiana right over the crossroads

In Illinois we had deep dish and hot dogs

Cornhuskers score a Nebraskan point and I

Hear some music from downtown Des Moines Iowa

And I wanna see the states

I wanna see the states

From Florida's southern cays

To the Delaware tax rates

I wanna see the states

I wanna dip my feet into the sand

I wanna dive into the Rio Grande

From the tall Virginian trees

To a sultry Georgian breeze

I wanna see the land

Fall in new Hampshire we stopped by the woods

With paid parking meters by rogue Robin Hoods

Freedom and unity o'er in Vermont

There's hope in Rhode Island to live how you want

To live how you like but I love Massachusetts

New York's got places where we can get loose

It's like everything you ever wanted at once

We'll go upstate and we can stay there for months

We'll cut through the forests to Hartford Connecticut

Can't help but love famous new Jersey etiquette

O'er in DC on the Capitol Hill

Historic decisions are being made still

The West Virginian mountains are wild and wonderful

North Carolina where autumn is colorful

Crabbing in Maryland hoagies in Harrisburg

Pennsylvania declared us America

But it's far

It's far

It's far how it's far

Between them

But take it form me it's worth

All the long car rides to see them

Just wait till you see Yosemite or new England

They'll make you believe in life liberty and freedom

Well I wanna see the states

I wanna see the states

From the lakes of Minnesota

To the North and South Dakotas

I wanna see the states

I wanna dip my feet into the sand

I wanna dive into the Rio Grande

From the Arizona desert

To Wisconsin's snowy weather

I wanna see the land

I wanna see the land
