Sufjan Stevens
The 50 States Song
[Choir]
It's part of the act
The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late

From Alabama to Arkansas
Follow Alaska, say what you saw
Swim in the ocean, Maryland, Maine
Then Massachusetts, what a great place
Go to New Hampshire, Missouri too
It's not Virginia but it will do

[Sufjan Stevens]
Take a drive to Ohio
We went running through the oil
And my favorite avenue
I tried it on my favorite shoes

[Choir]
There's Mississippi, Kentucky blue
Rhode Island rage
And a Tennessee too
See Oklahoma or Michigan
There's a Nevada, see Washington win
Oh Arizona, Colorado
Connecticut Yankee, love Ohio
Louisiana, Delaware who
Go Minnesota, we're thinking of you
[Sufjan Stevens]
When we came to Washington
(When we came to Washington)
We went running through the rain
(We went running through the rain)

In my favorite city park
(In his favorite city park)
And my favorite time of day
(And his favorite time of day)

[Choir]
Oh California, Wyoming too
Go to Wisconsin, New Jersey loves you
Fly in to Georgia, Idaho Bay
Or Indiana, they all seem the same
Florida voting, Montana chew
Visit Nebraska, there's nothing to do
North Carolina, Oregon arms
Illinois people, Illinois farms

[Sufjan Stevens]
If I lived in Rhode Island
(If he lived in Rhode Island)
Or if I lived in Michigan
(I heard he lived in Michigan)
And if I live to be a man
(If he lives to be a man)
Will you comfort me again?
(Will they comfort him again?)
[Choir]
There's West Virginia, build in Vermont
Visit Hawaii or New Mexico
Iowa, Texas, take it all in
The Mormons in Utah, the money and gin
There's Pennsylvania, driving at night
South Carolina, what a delight!
Dakotas and Kansas
Piggy and pork
Jump on a train, head back to New York

[Outro: Choir]
It's part of the act
The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late

It's part of the act
The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late
(Pack up your bags, bells!)

It's part of the act
The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late
(Come on, pack up your bags, guitar!)
It's part of the act
The fifty states
Pack up your bags

(Come on, pack up your bags, trumpet!)

It's part of the act
The fifty states
Pack up your bags

(Pack up your bags, piano!)

It's part of the act
The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late
(Come on bass guitar!)
(Pack up your bags, Wurlitzer!)

It's part of the act
(God bless America!)
The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late

It's part of the act
(Land that I love!)
The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late

It's part of the act

The fifty states
Pack up your bags

The fifty states
Pack up your bags
It's never too late
