Miss Rhode Island Lyrics

How lucky was I to be raised by the ocean

The waves rocking me to sleep in slow motion

Some people live entire lives without knowing the feel of salt air

The first time that occurred to me I was twenty-three

When I left home and realized that I willingly

Lost a part of me walked out of a dream and into a nightmare

I'm Miss Rhode Island

I'm pearls over diamonds

I'm sweet I'm saltwater

I'm the ocean's daughter

Praying to Poseidon

That I'll roll in with the tide

Cause I'm landlocked for miles and

I I I miss Rhode Island

How stupid was I to take it for granted

Til I severed the roots where my feet were planted

Only then unhindered by branches could I see clear as crystal

The last time I heard I'll Be Home For Christmas

I cried while I texted my mother my wishlist

And mapped out the 1090 distance from Nashville to Bristol

I'm Miss Rhode Island

I'm pearls over diamonds

I'm sweet I'm saltwater

I'm the ocean's daughter

Praying to Poseidon

That I'll roll in with the tide

Cause I'm landlocked for miles and

I I I miss Rhode Island

I thank God for my birthright my title my crown

Miss Rhode Island by nature by birth and by town

I gave up my throne but it follows me around

And makes sure everywhere I go let's me down

I'm Miss Rhode Island

I'm pearls over diamonds

I'm sweet I'm saltwater

I'm the ocean's daughter

Praying to Poseidon

That I'll roll in with the tide

Cause I'm landlocked for miles and

I I I

I I I

I'm Miss Rhode Island

I'm pearls over diamonds

I'm sweet I'm saltwater

I'm the ocean's daughter

Praying to Poseidon

That I'll roll in with the tide

Cause I'm landlocked for miles and

I I I miss Rhode Island
