All along the western coast
the sun is waking up the ocean
caught more fish than I could know
the boys in town are getting lonesome
Peeling skin summer swell
It's shorter in the northern country
the modern man can go to hell
I'll count my swings and fall the pine trees
All but a dream, possibly seems I'm the last one still in hunting
but I held to the end, it's hard to pretend that i'm lucky
Where I go no one knows
tucked up in the shaded mountains
found more coal than gold
It's hard to say it's worth the hike in
Wild flowers turning blue
the springs dried up, It's getting colder
and all day I think of you
this year will be a lonely winter
All but a dream, possibly seems I'm the last one in northern country
but I held till the end, it's hard to pretend that I'm happy.
Cob webs only catching dust
deep tucked in the cabin corners
an old blades collecting dust
claiming stakes for aching shoulders
Some days arn't the same
the valley winds are getting colder
and only myself to blame
and hell I know I'm getting older
All but a dream, possibly seams, I'm the last one in northern country
and I held till the end, It's hard to pretend that I'm happy
The words I would sing, of some melody that you taught me, in the city
the sweat in my brow, my hand to the plow, damn I'm lonely
Wild flowers turning blue
the springs dried up it's getting older
and all day I think of you
my hearts dried up and getting colder
Prone to wander now
It's easy living by the letter
when no ones around
but it's hard to say it's getting better
