Wandering Northerner

Song 4 of the 52 Week Song Club

lyrics

I was the first of
all the northerners
to get going past
the gravel roads

To befriend the Blackfeet
and live in the wilderness
trading my furs
with the Crows

And, I came upon
an expedition
making a map of
the Ohio

They did extend to me
their great permission
to go past the Rockies
and live by the skin of my nose


I've walked for miles
many of them circles
I've slept amongst
the coyotes and the deer

Many long winters
even hot summers
those were some of my
most trying years

To walk through the Rockies
blisters and no goals
but to conquer
all of my fears

Spent some time in Yellowstone
that was so long ago
before the Pacific
went and filled my ears

When a northerner
gets to going
on past the gravel roads

There's no telling
if he will be back again
ask everybody, nobody knows
