We got a back porch view of fields that are emerald green
I’m a Midwest girl, that’s something I’m proud to be
But right now I’m sippin’ on an umbrella drink
Got a big floppy hat, I’m soakin’ up the heat
There ain’t no ocean In Missouri
No dolphins swimming in the sea
And every single January
Man the snow gets really deep
I love the Mississippi
I’ll always be a real Show Me
But there ain’t no ocean in Missouri
That’s why I’m sittin’ on a beach
I like the sound of a John Deere combine harvesting wheat
And the first three seasons of the year appeal to me
But I don’t like wool socks or icy roads
When it turns cold, I just gotta go
There ain’t no ocean In Missouri
No dolphins swimming in the sea
And every single January
Man the snow gets really deep
I love the Mississippi
I’ll always be a real Show Me
But there ain’t no ocean in Missouri
That’s why I’m sittin’ on a beach
I love the Mississippi
I’ll always be a real Show Me
But there ain’t no ocean in Missouri
That’s why I’m sittin’ on a beach
When it’s cold as heck in MO
You’ll find me sittin’ on a beach
