Big wheels keep on turning
towards a lake cabin near Aitkin
Singing songs about big muskie
I’m going fishing once again
and that ain’t no sin.

Well, I heard Soundgarden sing about her
Well, I heard those grunge guys put her down
Well, I hope Cornell will remember
Minnesota don't need them around anyhow

Sweet home Minnesota
where the lakes are so blue
Sweet home Minnesota
Lord, I'm staying here in you

We had a wrestler for a Gov'nor
and I voted for him too
His gravelly voice does not bother me
Does his bald head bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Minnesota
where my lips turn so blue
Sweet home Minnesota
Lord, I freeze sometimes in you

Isanti county got’s some swampland
and they’ve been known to kill a dog or two
Some here talk like in the movie Fargo
That makes me laugh when I'm feeling blue Now how about you?

Sweet home Minnesota
where the deer walk through the dew
Sweet home Minnesota
Lord, your beauty is so true

Sweet home Minnesota
where the lakes are so blue
Sweet home Minnesota
Lord, I'm staying here in you
