River Formula

Wood weed ice beer it’s how I know the river’s near

ULLR fire starter gear and papers left to burn

Get yourself a canoe add a dog and make it two

Push off from the shore and wave it all goodbye

Get yourself a nice buzz don’t think about how it was

Listen to the river tell you all you need to know

Moonlight stars bright campfire warms the night

Hot dogs on a stick and sand between your toes

On day one had the sun off again a summer run

Shaking off the winter gets harder every year

Skies opened up on day two hunkered down ’til it was through

Yelled at the clouds a bit “you call this a storm?”

Day three the best for me got in my soul the canyon scene

I think I fell down twice that night but only Django knows

Moonlight stars bright campfire warms the night

Raw hot dogs and mud between my toes

Ran out of beer on day four robbed a camp to get some more

Ranger’s on my tail but the wind is at my back

Those rapids are a no-go but Deliverance guy is on the shore

Gotta take some chances just to make it out alive

Off the river day five they were waiting for me and threatened my life

Not sure how they found me there but now I sit in cuffs

Moonlight stars bright jail cell blocks the light

With any luck I’m out tonight I’ll check my list again

Wood weed ice beer is how I know the river’s near

ULLR firestarter gear and papers left to burn

Wood weed ice beer is how I know the river’s near

ULLR firestarter gear and papers left to burn

Moonlight stars bright campfire warms the night

Hot dogs on a stick and sand between your toes

Moonlight stars bright campfire warms the night

The Smith and Yellowstone are the places I call home
