lyrics

Horsefly bites and blackfly swarms
Porcupine quills and devils club thorns
Outflow winds chill me to the bone
Never ending rainstorms


We bought 10 acres with a shack on the corner
Logged to stumps by the previous owner
A rotten porch where the welcome mat should be
And a funny feeling that this must be the place for me

We pulled a makeshift trailer with an old ford pickup
Made it almost to the driveway before I got it stuck
Jack knifed and completely blocking the road
Then my new neighbour drives up with four kids in tow

I thought we were in for a confrontation
But she gave us a friendly salutation
And a bucket of sand so the tires would bite the ice
Then she said come on over for dinner tonight

The natural beauty here is astounding
Snow capped mountains and forests surround me
But really the reason we’re hanging around
Is the friends we’ve made in this town
