ravenback This song misrepresents what Knob noster is. There are no pig farms, there is no constant steam. Hell knob isn't even the what is part of the military. it's whiteman air force base.

lyrics

KNOB NOSTER, MISSOURI
Bill Brigman / Georgia Middleman

I couldn’t wait to find out about my dream sheet
So excited to be going overseas
I mean I earned it; I was DG, the proud son of New Orleans
What an adventure it would be

The detailer said I’m gonna love where I was going
“‘Cause there’s a girl behind every tree
So better bloom where you’re planted; no, your wish wasn’t granted
But this is so much better than Italy
You’re needed in Knob Noster, Missouri”

Chorus:
And in my 66 mustang
Turning south from I -70
That’s when I started to worry
Belching steam in the air
Pig farms everywhere
In Knob Noster, Missouri

Now I can do a hurricane, no problem
But I had never seen an ice storm before
couldn’t even get into my car, just another Butter Bar
who showed up not ready for his tour

But it didn’t take too long to make some good friends
who were far away from home just like me
Roger, Jim and Tony… L.T.s who were just as lonely
Guys like them made it home for me
In Knob Noster, Missouri


CHORUS:
But in my 66 mustang
Turning south from I -70
That’s when I started to worry
Belching steam in the air
Pig farms everywhere
In Knob Noster, Missouri

Bridge:
Then I got deployed to Desert Storm
And those missileers pulled alert under ground
Keeping us safe until I got home
And now home is the friends that I’ve found

Chorus:
Now from that Kansas City airport
Turning East on I-70
Rolling home in a hurry
Didn’t wanna be late
For my welcome home parade
In Knob Noster, Missouri
In Knob Noster, Missouri
