lyrics

My pa’s got roots buried so deep
Red delirium couldn't creep him out
No that swamp wouldn't kick him out
Riverbeds thick drown sandhill cranes
Sky so wide only tamarack change
Pine needle stew'll make yer mind real strange

Somewhere in the woods past the tracks and the railroad ties
You'll find me kickin logs searching for my father's pride
Pickin blueberries for Ma under the new powerlines
I'm not losing sleep, I'm just passing time
The edge of that big bad swamp swatting flies

Sippin honey dew off a fiddlehead fern blade
Coyotes yip when the moon hit when the moon hits the tracks
Cross that swamp you ain't never comin back
Cattail roots strangled all Pa's pride
He tried to eat em up but he lost his knife
Yeah, sittin on a log my pa lost his knife

Somewhere in the woods past the tracks and the railroad ties
You'll find me kickin logs searching for my father's pride
Pickin blueberries for Ma under the new powerlines
I'm not losing sleep, I'm just passing time
The edge of that big bad swamp swatting flies

I've never seen a moose and never fought a bear
but No See Em Creek is meaner than both
The bugs on that creek think it's a joke
I tried it all from DEET to Sweetgrass
But them bugs persistent I don't stand a chance
They got me doin the no see em dance

Somewhere in the woods past the tracks and the railroad ties
You'll find me kickin logs searching for my father's pride
Pickin blueberries for Ma under the new powerlines
I'm not losing sleep, I'm just passing time
The edge of that big bad swamp swatting flies
