For Rachel,

With all apologies to Bowling For Soup

She said she needed a break.
To watch her sister get hitched.
So she went to Salem
but only the new one
To visit a cow.

There's nothing wrong with New Salem
Except it isn’t St. Paul
I really like angus beef
And I'd love to see the largest Holstein cow.

So when you're done doing whatever
And when your through drinking whatever
You know Ramsey County will be right here waiting for you....

Come back to St Paul
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you forget the kitty
And forget all about the Capitol.
There's a seat for you at the State Fair Stage
And I've got a parking spot saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway

We think we made a mistake
Its not that easy to take
You went to visit your sister
And watch her marry a mister
Guess we’ll sit here and wait

For your to come back home (We wish you’d come back home)
It shouldn't take very long (so long so long)
We bet you miss Old navy
And the retail Swedes but we could be wrong

So when your done doing whatever
And when your through drinking whatever
You know Ramsey County will be right here waiting for you....

Come back to St Paul
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you forget the kitty
And forget all about the Capitol.
There's a seat for you at the State Fair Stage
And I've got a parking spot saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway

Hubert Humphrey wants you back
Joe Mauer wants you back
Target wants you back
And Winona Ryder wants you back
And Prince, he wants you back
And Bob Dylan wants you back

I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
And the whole city’s gonna sign

Come back to St Paul
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you forget the kitty
And forget all about the Capitol.
There's a seat for you at the State Fair Stage
And I've got a parking spot saved

Come back to St Paul
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you forget the kitty
And forget all about the Capitol.
There's a seat for you at the State Fair Stage
And I've got a parking spot saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
