My daughters were born in Texas and I do like it there.
I wrote this song in 2003 for Ohio's bicentennial.
Ohio, You've Been Awfully Good to Me
When I think about my lifetime, I know that I've been blessed
my friends, my home, my family, I really must confess,
I know what it's like in heaven, found a slice right here,
surrounded by the ones I love and all I hold so dear.
Ohio, you've been awfully good to me.
Looking out my kitchen window, beneath a sky so blue,
a land of truth and plenty, a gift to me and you.
From Adams on to Wyandotte and everywhere between,
a place where we can do whatever hearts would dare to dream.
Ohio, you've been awfully good to me.
Ohio, you've been awfully good to me.
No brighter star from sea to shining sea
Where I've worked and played and cried,
I'll call you home until I die.
There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be.
Ohio, you've been awfully good to me.
To the land of the Adena, our founding fathers came,
across the mighty river which bears your stately name.
And somewhere in your fertile valleys they settled down to stay,
to pass to us this place we love and celebrate today.
Ohio, you've been awfully good to me.
A state of graceful beauty and possibility,
you've watched our children grow up since 18 hundred 3
and stood the faithful backdrop of every single day.
I pray to never see it end, may your pennant always wave.
Ohio, you've been awfully good to me.
Ohio, you've been awfully good to me,
No brighter star from sea to shining sea
and wherever I may roam
with Buckeye pride I'll call you home.
There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be.
Ohio, (spoken) you've been awfully good to me

The best place I have ever lived was San Antonio Texas. Very friendly, affordable, lots to do. The worst state I have ever lived in is Arizona. I don't think I could go back to Alaska either.
Honorable mention goes to;
Olympia Washington
Falls Church Virginia
Monterey California

I have lived in California, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas, and go to college in Arkansas as well as visiting people in other states. Ad I must say that Texas is by far my favorite.

Well, I can't really beat the Ohio song, but my favorite state is California. Most people here are more open to diversity, there's tons of beaches, the weather is nice, and there's Disneyland!
