U.P. Life

Here we are again rollin' down some backroad BFE
Destination... the middle of nowhere
Where my view is nothin' but trees

And you might think I'm crazy
With your uptown city life
But this here is what saves me
Damn I love... damn I love my U.P. Life

Where the rivers run and eagles fly
And my dogs aren't on a leash
Where the northern lights dance in the sky
As we lay on some hidden beach
Or on a mountain top just outa town
And there ain't a building in sight
With my guitar as the sun goes down
Damn I love my... damn I love
Damn I love my U.P. Life

I've heard those songs they wrote
About Texas and Tennessee and Florida ain't half bad
In the dead of winter down in the Keys
And those Rocky Mountains way out west
Oh they sometimes call to me
Oh but... they ain't Lake Superior
No my heart it lies here in the U.P

Where the rivers run and eagles fly
And my dogs aren't on a leash
Where the northern lights dance in the sky
As we lay on some hidden beach
Or on a mountain top just outa town
And there ain't a building in sight
With my guitar as the sun goes down
Damn I love my... damn I love
Damn I love my U.P. Life

Now when I cast a fly, or hunt with my boys
Or camp where those big waves roll
When I hold my breath and dip my head
Mother Superior she'll save my soul
Oh oh ohhhhhhh

And as these years roll by
And the seasons change
Come spring when that sun gets higher
Those steelhead run these streams

There's brook trout through the summer
And grouse and ducks in the fall
Then deer camp in November
And those fat tire bikes they roll all winter long

Where the rivers run and eagles fly
And my dogs aren't on a leash
Where the northern lights dance in the sky
Or on a mountain top just outa town
And there ain't a building in sight
With my guitar as the sun goes down
Damn I love my... damn I love
Damn I love my U.P. Life

Where the rivers run... and those eagles fly
And the northern lights are like a symphony in the sky
Damn I love my U.P. Life
Damn I love... damn I love my U.P. Life
