Billy Joel's "The Way the Lights Went Out" -
"Oh yes those lights were bright on Broadway, but that was so many years ago. Before we all moved here to Florida, before the Mafia took over Mexico..."

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band That lead guitar is hot but not for "Lousiana Man" So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, "Cotton-Eyed Joe"! He said, "We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong There's just somethin' missin' in your song"
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case You say y'all all wanna two-step You say ya wanna doe-si-doe Well, here's your fiddlin' song before we go

Home Means Nevada Written & Music by Bertha Raffetto
Way out in the land of the setting sun, Where the wind blows wild and free, There's a lovely spot, just the only one That means home sweet home to me. If you follow the old Kit Carson trail, Until desert meets the hills, Oh you certainly will agree with me, It's the place of a thousand thrills.
Home means Nevada Home means the hills, Home means the sage and the pine. Out by the Truckee, silvery rills, Out where the sun always shines, Here is the land which I love the best, Fairer than all I can see. Deep in the heart of the golden west Home means Nevada to me.

Rhode Island's It for Me Written by Charlie Hall Music by Maria Day Arranged by Kathryn Chester
Chorus I’ve been to every state we have, and I think I’m inclined to say that Rhody stole my heart: You can keep the forty-nine.
Herring gulls that dot the sky, blue waves that paint the rocks, water rich with Neptune’s life, the boats that line the docks. I see the lighthouse flickering to help the sailors see. There’s a place for everyone: Rhode Island’s It for Me.
Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island surrounded by the sea. Some people roam the earth for home; Rhode Island’s It for Me.
