After the falls you’re drivin’ effortlessly

The air is clean, scenery free

You know that where you are, is where that you should be (cause)

Fish don’t bite, you’re on the lake, everything’s all right

Sail or Ski? Depends on the strength of the breeze

But the sun gets low and it’s time to go to the asphalt and that hot river town

(SLOWLY) G D/F# Em G/D C D

In the depth of the winter here, there is no light beyond the working day

G D/F# Em G/D C D

You trudge out through the snow, to hear musicians that have come to play

C D C D

The last set you catch at a Friday show, an unknown two piece band

C D C D

Sings of pines and birds and lakes and loons and castles that are made of sand

C D

You slump back in your chair and your mind begins to dream, (Of)
