Lyrics

I Miss Minnesota
Dad, tell me about this maple tree before I hit the road.
What do all these carving mean? Some are very, very old.
You say this symbol points to the Mississippi Source.
This one to Island Lake.
I 35 is near the North Shore
Take it south all the way.
I miss Minnesota. Lord knows I'm torn.
But the truth is if I left you, I would miss you more.
Oh, I miss Minnesota. The walks on London Road.
Spring flowers and the winter storms.
And Dad, I miss you growing old.

I've traveled from the North Star to the Lone Star state.
But I miss the four seasons. The leaves here do not change.
Dad, I want to go back home to be with you, but
I met a guy near the Rio Grande
not very far from the Gulf Coast. I hope you understand.

I miss Minnesota. Lord knows I'm torn.
But the truth is if I left him, I would miss him more.
Oh, I miss Minnesota. The walks on London Road.
Spring flowers and the winter storms.
And Dad, I miss you growing old.

The Texas sky matches his blue eyes, but mine still long for green.
He planted me a little Minnesota, a silver maple tree.
And as I gaze upon its leaves in this relentless Texas heat,
I can hardly believe what I see, it's now baring seeds.

I miss Minnesota. Lord knows I'm torn.
But the truth is if I left him, I would miss him more.
Oh, I miss Minnesota. The falls changing leaves.
Spring flowers and the winter storms. And Dad,
You buried by the maple tree.
