[Verse 1]
Pennsylvania snow is pretty thick
Michigan ain't where I oughta get my kicks
Texas is fine, but it gets too hot
And New York City's not a place to stop
New Orleans is the home of the blues
But California's my home with Mary Hughes

[Verse 2]
Down in Mississippi, I'm told it's nice
And all the meals there, they come with rice
Oregon and Iowa are not for me
The Colorado mountains are something you will see
But back in California, there's nothing to lose
'Cause everything's swinging there with Mary Hughes
