In Minnesota, I don't wannaGo back to work, back to the hurtBack to wearing ties and shirtsIt’s the grander of states, the Land of Ten Thousand LakesIt’s the place to see people do whatever it takesTo be out in the sun, eating a hot dog and bunHaving fun, not caring about the chores to be donePhone calls and faxin’ all day with the bossWe’ll head for the action and take a day offYo bro, don’t be worried about the phone, let it slideAnd sit and sip a drink and watch the women go byWe looking fly, as we fly a hundred miles in the skyJust to be here, where they got the blizzards and beerWhere it’s cold half the year, but it’s the summer we careAbout, people twist and shout, there ain’t no doubtThat Minnesotan style got the best all around
[chorus]Minnesota love!Minnesota love!Minnesota love!Minnesota love!
Swimsuits and bikinis, daiquiris and martinisDon’t need the palm trees, we got the hot beachWe live in the water, yeah we’re a part ofThis way of livin’, just chillin’ and swimmin’Don’t gotta go south to Florida or the CaribbeanLet’s go to Winnie or Mille LacsFar away from the city and relax to the maxWe got all day to be lazy in the bay, so sit backLemonade in the sand, let me hold your handCome and dance with me, tonight I’ll be your manWake up in the mornin', the sun starts shinin'People be linin' up, wanna begin ridin' theWakes and waves, after bacon and eggsWe’ll have a barbecue later and throw on a few steaksSurf shorts and wakeboards, no we ain’t boredWe’ll look to the water for something we can afford
[chorus]Minnesota love!Minnesota love!Minnesota love!Minnesota love!
Up in the north, forest, hardly noticedAre the good times to be had, a few times to be badBut it’s the chill thing to be in the fad and be radDon’t get mad, and I’ll be damned if I gotta sit in a traffic jamSo, hear me out, I got a plan, babyLet’s get away, I’m just saying maybeI’m talking real good, northwood, out in the sticksOut where the wild things are like the deer and the ticksDon’t feel like a walk in the woods? That’s okayThere’s a million other ways that you could spend your dayAlright, so if I haven’t made it obviousThis is a place you need to experienceYeah, we’re a little crazy with our Minnesota niceBut unless you’re on a lake, go on and break the iceDon’t be stoppin' the show, you’d be halting the flowCuz you already know, it’s the Gopher State where ya go!
[chorus]Minnesota love!Minnesota love!Minnesota love!Minnesota love!
