The Nebraska State BalladA Place Like Nebraskawords and music by Sol Kutler |
|
When I dream of my home
And the good folks I've known
I'm glad I've grown up
In Nebraska
Cause the good life is there
With sun and fresh air
And neighbors who care
In Nebraska
Wherever you go, they all want to know
And someday someone will ask ya
So turn on your smile
Tell them life is worthwhile
When you're bred and corn-fed in Nebraska
With cool winding streams
And good football teams
And jobs that are there for the asking
With daughters and sons
Some real famous ones
All proud to be called a Nebraskan
'Cause wherever you go, they all want to know
And someday someone will ask ya
So turn on your smile
Tell them life is worthwile
When you come from a place like Nebraska
A soft fally snow
A warm fire's glow
And a lifetime of memories to last ya
Of a cool summer's breeze
And bright autumn leaves
Each season a joy in Nebraska
So wherever you go, you just let them know
'Cause someday someone will ask ya
So turn on your smile
Tell them life is worthwile
When you come from a place like Nebraska |

Adoption of the State BalladUnlike other states, Nebraska has passed legislation that allows the Governor to declare state symbols without going through the Legislature. On October 9, 1997, Governor Ben Nelson declared "A Place Like Nebraska", words and music by Sol Kutler, to be the official state ballad of Nebraska. |
