I am a champion in MinnesotanI am a little kid in the tall grassnForever the sun shines down on MinnesotanWatch me I’m running so very fast nownnClose your eyes and the country innI can feel this place in my heart beat nI can tell myself that I’m always therenWhere the lakes are gold and the spirits hangin over mennI had another life in MinnesotanChildren were growing up all around menWatch me, I’ll follow them into the forestnWait for me to return as a grown mannnClose your eyes and the country innI can feel this place in my heart beat nI can tell myself that I’m always therenWhere the lakes are gold and the spirits hangin over mennAnd all we see is MinnesotanI need you more than you’ll ever knownI’m stuck here chasing phantoms OhnSleeping in the winter winds of MinnesotanI find you there where shadows stare from forest (?) younger yearsnWe’ll meet again and enter into Minnesotan
