Sufjan Stevens - 50 States Theme

It's part of the act
the 50 states
pack up your bags
it's never too late
from alabama to arkansas
follow alaska say what you saw
swim in the ocean
maryland may
then massachusetts
what a great place
go to new hampshire
missouri too
it's not virginia
but it will do
take a drive to ohio
we went running through the ohio
in my favorite avenue
i tried it on my favorite shoes

when we came to washington
we went running through the rain
in my favorite city park
in my favorite time of day
