Nebraska State Ballad
"A Place Like Nebraska"
Words and Music by Sol Kutler
Adopted in October 9, 1997.
"A Place Like Nebraska" was adopted as the
Nebraska State Ballad on October 9, 1997.
"A Place Like Nebraska"
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 like is there
With the 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
Origin of Ballad:
On October 9, 1997, Gov. Ben Nelson declared "A Place Like Nebraska" to be the official state ballad. Sol Kutler composed the words and music.
