"A Place Like Nebraska"

by Sol Kutler

When I dream of my home
And the good folks I've known
I'm glad I've grown up
In Nebraska

Cause the good life is there
With sun and fresh air
And neighbors who care
In Nebraska

Wherever you go, they all want to know
And someday someone will ask ya
So turn on your smile
Tell them life is worthwhile
When you're bred and corn fed in Nebraska

With cool winding streams
And good football teams
And jobs that are there for the asking

With daughters and sons
Some real famous ones
All proud to be called a Nebraskan

'Cause wherever you go, they all want to know
And someday someone will ask ya
So turn on your smile
Tell them life is worthwhile
When you come from a place like Nebraska

A soft falling snow
A warm fire's glow
And a lifetime of memories to last ya

Of a cool summer's breeze
And bright autumn leaves
Each season a joy in Nebraska

So wherever you go, you just let them know
'Cause someday someone will ask ya
So turn on your smile
Tell them life is worthwhile
When you come from a place like Nebraska
