Sacramento Sun

Unlike the city out west where I reside,
Grass really is greener on the other side                                                  

Air conditioning is a must in the summer
Without it, the long hot summer is a bummer

Without it, you best pray for an early winter
No, it's not a necessity; it's a 'no brainer'

In a valley where it seldom snows and sometimes freezes,
We experience many cool summer nights from delta breezes

With a deserving reputation as ' The City of Trees',
We have lots of trees to keep us cool and shady

Sacramento is sometimes called The River City.
That’s because two major rivers run through it

Major airlines and railways; so board a plane or a train
Two major interstate highways also run through our city

You can go North and South by way of interstate 5
Or take I-80 East to Chicago if you really like to drive

I-80 West will take you clear to San Francisco without a rest
That’s where I came from before I made Sacramento my address
