Kyle Gagner - Pembina County Lyrics

1,121 Square Miles is the area in which you reside
You're a great place for families to raise their kids
Because they can run and play and scream outside
Established in 1867, your history is oh so vast!
You've had Icelanders, fur traders, world record speed skaters
Golly, I think you're the best

Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're nestled in the northeast corner of the state
Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're big, you're bold, and you're great!

You're home to thirteen towns, six state highways
One giant gorge, and one scenic back-way
One state park and a state museum
August the Deuce, and the fair
You've got a station for the Air Force
And river that only flows north
You've got thousands of acres of rich, fertile soil
I wonder if we could ever score some of that rich North Dakota Oil?

Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're nestled in the northeast corner of the state
Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're big, you're bold, and you're great!

And now it's time to mourn the cities that we've lost along the way
Cities like Akra, Backoo, Concrete, Carlysle, Joliette, and Fleece
Halson and Leroy
MacArthur and Pittsburgh, and good 'ol Svold
Amidst all these losses, you keep on a rockin'
And that is what makes you so great!

Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're nestled in the northeast corner of the state
Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're big, you're bold, and you're great!

Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're nestled in the northeast corner of the state
Pembina County, oh how I love thee
You're big, you're bold, and you're great!
You're big, you're bold, and you're great
You're so great!
