This Mr. Steve World tour has been incredible.
And I love Paris.
The people, the food, the art, the monuments.
They even have beaches in France.
Who knew?
But I'm really missing home.
I miss the people.
I miss the trees.
I miss the hogs.
I even miss the cheese dip.
(sighs) This is a song about my favorite place in the world.
Arkansas.
The natural state.
(glass breaking) I want to be in my natural state.
Got to get back.
I just can't wait to see my friends and family.
Well, that would be great.
Want to be in my natural state.
Want be in my natural place, roaming all around in a beautiful space.
Always puts a big ole smile on my face.
Want be in my natural place.

It's got 3 million people.

Did you know the official instrument in Arkansas is a fiddle?
