lyrics

They can give directions. Very good directions.
How to do anything. How to get anywhere.

Minnesota is nice. At least, that's what I think.
There are 10,000 lakes, but there’s not a drop to drink
Streets there are flat and wide but there’s no room to ride
If you’re not six foot five, blonde-haired and blue-eyed

They will look after their own
(When it's cold)
They only care for their own
(when it’s cold)
They will look after their own
(When it’s cold)
If you’re not one of their own (expect a cold shoulder)

Where I’m from people look rough. Hey so what if they’re old?
They work hard all their lives and they bleed black and gold!
Last week they wrote 'bout us in the New York Times.
So - come and see for yourself. I will share what’s mine.

You look like one of our own (in black and gold)
You could be one of our own (in black and gold)
You look like one of our own (in black and gold)
You could be one of our own (if you know what team to root for)

It’s all downhill from here...
