Rhode Island's It for Me lyrics

(REF)

I’ve been to every state we have,

and I think I’m inclined to say

that Rhody stole my heart:

You can keep the forty-nine.

Herring gulls that dot the sky,

blue waves that paint the rocks,

water rich with Neptune’s life,

the boats that line the docks.

I see the lighthouse flickering

to help the sailors see.

There’s a place for everyone:

Rhode Island’s It for Me.

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island

surrounded by the sea.

Some people roam the earth for home;

Rhode Island’s It for Me.

I love the fresh October days,

the buzz on College Hill,

art that moves an eye to tear,

a jewelers special skill.

Icicles refract the sun,

snow falling gracefully.

Some search for a place that’s warm:

Rhode Island’s It for Me!

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island

surrounded by the sea.

Some people roam the earth for home;

Rhode Island’s It for Me.

The skyline piercing Providence,

the State House dome so rare.

residents who speak their minds;

no longer unaware!

Roger Williams would be proud

to see his colony,

so don’t sell short this precious port:

Rhode Island’s It for Me!

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island

surrounded by the sea.

Some people roam the earth for home;

Rhode Island’s It for Me.

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island

surrounded by the sea.

Some people roam the earth for home;
