lyrics

Intro:
Hey
I want to talk to you about a state on the East Coast, some of us call the Nutmeg State
Listen

First Verse:
I grew up in Connecticut
When I say that
They say where’s that at?

Small state, West of Rhode Island
Mass to the North
And New York is beside it

A place where there’s country roads
Here we pick apples in the fall
Believe it or not, we got 4 seasons
Snow in the spring for no good reason

I was just a kid
Reminiscing about the little things I did
How I use to ride the horse at the carousel
Over at Bushnell Park

Watch the Greatest Show on Earth
at the Civic Center before it was the XL
G. Fox was down the street
I remember Sage Allen and now it’s Capital Community


Chorus:
You can love it or leave it
But its a state I believe in
I’m proud to say
that I’m Connecticut born
And Connecticut raised, HEY!

You can love it or leave it
But its a state I believe in
I’m proud to say
that I’m Connecticut born
And Connecticut raised

C-O double N - E-C -T
I-C-U-T in you, in me

C-O double N - E-C -T
I-C-U-T in you, in me


Second Verse:
I grew up in Connecticut
When I say that
They say where’s that at?

Its the state with a real big heart
With a lot of soul
And we love the arts

It’s a people place
Here we work hard
And we go out and play
Maybe watch some UConn ball
Grab some pizza
Take a ride to the shore

Take the train out to the city
come back here to a dinner and a movie
Maybe hit the Trumbull Mall
Take a long drive on 95 North

Chorus:
You can love it or leave it
But its a state I believe in
I’m proud to say
that I’m Connecticut born
And Connecticut raised, HEY!

You can love it or leave it
But its a state I believe in
I’m proud to say
that I’m Connecticut born
And Connecticut raised

C-O double N - E-C -T
I-C-U-T in you, in me

C-O double N - E-C -T
I-C-U-T in you, in me

I love it
I believe it
