Carry me back to old Missouri.

1. How about “Oklahoma”?

2. But seriously, folks, listen to Carry Me Back to the Beautiful by Suzanne McDermott
   http://virginiasong.suzannemcdermott.com/
   and consider the following lyrics (and if you like ’em, spread the word!) I think they rule.
   Carry Me Back to the Beautiful
   To the place where lovers meet
   Where the ghosts of our beginnings
   Linger over every street

   Red clay and wild horses
   Mountains, farms, rivers and sea
   Where would you rather be than
   In Virginia?

   Carry Me Back
   to the Beautiful
   Carry Me Back
   to the Beautiful
   Carry me back to a place in time
   Carry me back for peace of mind
   Where the spirit is set free
   Through the landscape and history
   Nowhere I’d rather be than
   In Virginia

   Sail with shore birds on Chesapeake
   Touch heaven from Skyline Drive
   Roll through Shenandoah
   Watch Williamsburg come alive

   Washington and Jefferson
   Madison and Monroe
   All fell in love with
   Beautiful Virginia

   Carry Me Back
   to the Beautiful
   Carry Me Back
   to the Beautiful
   Carry me back to a place in time
   Carry me back for peace of mind
   Where the spirit is set free
   Through the landscape and history
   Nowhere I’d rather be than
   In Virginia
