Songs:

There's no place like home!

There's no place like home! (Sandy starts crying)

I wish I was in Texas - Sandy Cheeks (with Junior Brown)

Wish I was back in Texas,

The ocean's no place for a squirrel

Wish I was in Texas,

Prettiest place in the world, oh no

I guess deep in my heart,

I'll always be a Texas girl

I wanna go hommmme...hoommmmme,

Yodel-ay-e-oh, yodel-ay-e-oh,

Yodel-ay-e-oh, a-lay-ee, a-lay-ee

I wanna wake up in Texas,

I miss those wide, open skies

I miss my twenty acres,

Barbeques and pecan pies, oh why

When I'm so far from you Texas,

All I can do is cry

Yodel-ay-e-oh, yodel-ay-e-oh,

Yodel-ay-e-oh, a-lay-ee, a-lay-ee

I wanna go hoommme,

(deep voice) I wanna go hooommmmme

This song is based on Hank Williams, Sr.'s number one hit, "Long Gone Lonesome Blues."

[edit] Plot

SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy are making sandcastles at Goo Lagoon when Sandy gets upset that Texas is a memory. She also looks depressed. She walks off, while SpongeBob tries to cheer her up. Sandy says she's homesick, and so SpongeBob and Patrick blindfold her and take her to her treedome. "Welcome home, Sandy!" they say, but Sandy knows this is not her real home. SpongeBob and Patrick realize that Sandy's from Texas, and decide to bring some Texas to Bikini Bottom to cheer up Sandy. Sandy wants to leave Bikini Bottom and go back to Texas, but SpongeBob and Patrick have a surprise for her at the Krusty Krab. Failing to convince her to go to the Krusty Krab, Patrick shouts after the bus which Sandy just boarded, saying "What's so great about dumb old Texas, anyway?" Sandy comes back, and SpongeBob thinks of a brilliant idea. They start insulting Texas, and so Sandy angrily chases them on a homocidal rampage. They hope to reach the Krusty Krab before Sandy catches them. While they're running as fast as they possibly can a lasso is thrown up on top of Patrick, pulling him back. Patrick suddenly exclaims" Ah! Spongebob!", as an explosion in the background lets out. Spongebob still hoping to reach the Krusty Krab is both screaming and running. Sandy then lassos Spongebobs arm, while he has firm grasp of the door with his other hand. While Sandy is tugging on the rope, Spongebob tears the door knob off, taking the front of the Krusty Krab with him. Where the party shouts "Howdy yal!", and Sandy decides that she's been home all along.
