Line Shack Blues

Way up in the mountains by the timber line
There's a run-down cabin you can barely find
It's got a few provisions for a man to use
But there ain't a thing to drive away the line shack blues
With promises of springtime in a winters pay
The foreman sent me here and here is where I'll stay
He told me 'bout the peace and quiet and the view
But he never said a thing about the line shack blues
Oo, I'm all alone
Up here where the sapphires and the coyotes moan
Oo, it's lonesome too
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues
I'm just about as bored as a man can be
I'm getting mighty tired of my own company
I've told me every story that I ever knew
One-sided conversation got the line shack blues
Oo, I'm all alone
Up here where the sapphires and the coyotes moan
Oo, it's lonesome too
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues
I keep hoping maybe this is worth it all
If I can only make it till the April thaw
I tell ya partner there is one thing I know is true
I'm never coming back to these old line shack blues
Oo, I'm all alone
Up here where the sapphires and the coyotes moan
Oo, it's lonesome too
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues
