North Dakota, where they always know your name
North Dakota, it’s the cornhole hall of fame
North Dakota, home of all the kindest folks
North Dakota, and they’ll trade you redneck jokes

North Dakota, where the air is crystal clear
North Dakota, and there’s always room for beer
North Dakota, where they greet you with a smile
North Dakota, pack a bag a stay awhile

Grand Forks, Washburn, Devil’s Lake
Lisbon, Lincoln, Ellendale
Tattoo sleeves and fireworks
I-29!

North Dakota, where the pickups cut their springs
North Dakota, ‘cuz the simple life is king
North Dakota, pass the beans and baked potates
North Dakota, boy you better clean your plate

Bismarck, Fargo, Dickenson
Minot, Jamestown, Williston
Trucks and booze, guitars and guns
I-94!

Sure it’s cold as Scott Walker’s heart
Just get yourself a hot beverage
Soon you will find it’s just a jumpstart
And frostbite gives you leverage

North Dakota, buy a house for 30 large
North Dakota, we can park in my front yard
North Dakota, where the winter starts in June
North Dakota, but you’ll want to come back soon

North Dakota, they would ski except it’s flat
North Dakota, need a real good thermostat
North Dakota, N-O-R-T-H-D-A
North Dakota, K-O-T-A-hey-hey-hey!
