i’m going home back to new hampshire
i’m so determined
to lay in lakes and see my sisters
i will hit my brother and hold my mother

Sure, there was that Sonic Youth song called New Hampshire ... but, well, it wasn't really a good song now was it.

If you are looking for some other 'state' songs check out 150 songs for 50 states. And by the way, It is such a beautiful time of year in New Hampshire, you come and visit, see your sisters, hit your brother and hold your mother.

I do not want my sons to learn a song that advocates brothers hitting each other in New Hampshire. It's all I can do to keep them apart as it is.

How about the old New Hampshire song, "Purple LIlacs"?:

I want to wake up in the morning where the purple lilacs grow --
Where the sun comes a peepin' into where I'm sleepin'
And the song birds say "hello!"

I want to wander through the wild woods where the fragrant breezes blow
And drift back to New Hampshire
Where the purple lilacs grow.

Agreed, New Hampshire by matt pond PA is a wonderful song. It has even appeared in the television program, "The OC."
