This song is for New Hampshire and for everyone out there who would rather be swimming.
lyrics
Give me the trees back in my life
I wanna see the stars at night
I wanna roll down my windows on a long back road
and I want the grassy rolling hills
I wanna drive by the paper mill
on my way back home from a day of fighting for my meal
Give me my cold river to swim
Give me back my deep woods
and my great white mountains
get me off this carnival ride
and give me back my simple life
Well I wanna ride my bike for miles
without seeing a single car
I wanna have myself too many drinks
at my favorite dive bar
I wanna throw myself the biggest
goddamn party you've seen
in my back yard
I wanna relax and enjoy
the silence for once
instead of hearing those sirens
and those angry bus drivers
how i'd love to find my way
out of this push and shove
Give me my cold river to swim
Give me back my deep woods
and my great white mountains
get me off this carnival ride
and give me back my simple life
Oh give me back my life
Oh can I hold on forever?
Oh can I hold on for good?
Oh can I hold on forever?
Oh can I hold on for good?
I feel my knuckles getting weak
and my fingers are splintering like wood
Give me my cold river to swim
Give me back my deep woods
and my great white mountains
get me off this carnival ride
and give me back my simple life
Oh give me back my life
