My parents were born in the same small town
On the North Dakota plains
And after twenty years of serving our country
Our family moved home again
This is a land that gets in your blood
Even as the bitter cold makes you numb
I learned lessons of its warmest people
And I’m proud to tell you where I’m from
Remember the values of those you represent
Honesty, integrity, watching every cent
Standing up for what is right even if you’re told it’s wrong
Because when you’re alone, it’s up to you to be strong
Even far from home
They see you’re homegrown
Senator, you come from a small town
Learned hard work and responsibility
You chose to serve the state that you love
To the best of your ability
We have a lot in common, you and I
Though we mean different things for D,ND
We try to help the folks who got us here
No matter where we happen to be
Remember the values of those you represent
Honesty, integrity, watching every cent
Standing up for what is right even if you’re told it’s wrong
Because when you’re in charge, it’s your job to be strong
Even far from home
They see you’re homegrown
Remember the values of those you represent
Honesty, integrity, watching every cent
Standing up for what is right even if you’re told it’s wrong
Because when it’s hardest, that’s when we must strong
Even far from home
They see you’re homegrown
No matter where you roam
They see you’re homegrown
