List of U.S. state soils

This is a list of U.S. state soils. A state soil is a soil that has special significance to a particular state. Each state in the United States has selected a state soil, twenty of which have been legislatively established. These official state soils share the same level of distinction as official state flowers and birds. Also, representative soils have been selected for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Set Sail

    by: Ray Boltz

    Set sail, the Captains calling
    Its time to climb aboard
    Set sail, theres room for all
    And theres such a great reward
    Theres not a chance you can fail
    Set sail
    You have a been standing
    Staring at the sea
    You have been searching
    For a sense of destiny
    There is a purpose
    There is a plan
    But youll never find it
    With your head stuck in the sand
    CHORUS:
    Set sail, the Captains calling
    Its time to climb aboard
    Set sail, theres room for all
    And theres such a great reward
    Oceans of Glory, islands of Grace
    The sun on your shoulders
    And the wind in your face
    Theres not a chance you can fail
    Set sail
    Can you imagine
    How exciting it would be
    To launch out in faith
    And sail across the sea
    You have been waiting
    I think you know
    The time to wait has passed
    Its time to go
    CHORUS
    Climb aboard, lets begin
    Give control to the One
    Who rules the wind
