Nick and Maggie's 80 Day Canoe Trip

Welcome to Pocahontas, in the cranberry glades Ain't got bars, nor the charge to call her anyways My mind's a mile a minute, and my thoughts they bark like hounds I focus on my breathing, and the universe is sound The next few are wrecked, it's terrible Blackflies, mosquitoes We got all of them gone It's day 3, feels like it's maybe day 80 Nah! No Nah If it was day 80 this would be easier That's so true Think about my darling girl, sleeping all alone I pray the stars will shoot her all the wishes she can hold On the day that I return, I aim to lay her down But right now I'm focused, while the universe is sound Think about tobacco juice, and mason jars of shine I think about the vices I've let take me over time I recall when I was a baby, I didn't need nothing around But a little bitty rattler, and the universe is sound All so clear It's day 7? 7 One week on trail Full week on trail My eye is feeling the aftermath of a blackfly mugging Same with my ear, it's so swollen But that's okay, we're living Nick helped me chop my bangs last night Now he's making skizzigs Nick, how are you feeling on day 7? One full week on trail Doing good Yay! Nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake All of those tourists, covered with oil Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil Wasting away again in Margaritaville Searching for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a wonder blade But I know that it's wrong Don't know the reason Stayed here all season Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo But it's a real beauty I'm Mexican cutie Wasting away again in Margaritaville Searching for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a wonder blade What do you think about it? Today is Nick's 10 years sobriety Yay! And we made a cake Oh my god That's okay, it looks good Celebration Stepped on a popcorn Cut my heat And soon it will render That frozen concoction that helps me hang on Wasting away again in Margaritaville Searching for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a wonder blade But I know Adequate delivery There's the railroad track Nice Hey guys It's Maggie just chilling in a little bush Nick is checking You can hear him He's checking on a rabbit Maybe we can run it Pink tape We're on the Atacogan River It's really pretty Um I found the portage Awesome! And that's how it is There's a tree Out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind And the reason it's still standing It was strong enough to be here For years we have stayed together As lovers and as friends What we have will last forever If we're strong enough to be When you say something that you can't take back Big wind blows and you hear a little cry When you say hey well I might be wrong You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone Like a tree Out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love will last forever If we're strong enough to be A little Eva A big Eva Is all white When you start that you know it all Big wind blows and a branch will fall When you say hey this job takes two We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue Like a tree Out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind If we're strong enough to be Our love will last forever If we're strong enough to be Danger Asbestos Sausage Every orifice Filled with sausage I can't think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new Flashback Warm nights Most lovely times Suitcase of memories Time after Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said Then you say It goes wrong I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after If you fall I'll catch you I'll be waiting Time after If you're lost you can look and you will find me If you fall I'll catch you I'll be waiting Time after Up this big cliff here On a tiny unnamed lake South of Ignace Picture fades and darkness has turned to grey Watching through windows You're wondering if I'm okay Secrets The drum beats out of tune If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting Time after time You said It goes wrong I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after If you fall I'll catch you I'll be waiting Time after If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after If you fall I'll catch you I'll be waiting Time after time Time after Time after time Now the night circles somewhere else You shook the best when your love was gone Storing up on your summer glow you went In search of someone else Tears A ship is coming in Your tears A sea for me to swim Tears A storm is coming in My tears I know we've had enough I see the birds Leaning over Rehearing how you went In search of someone else The bright How far did we went In circles somewhere else Waiting A sea for me to swim Tears A storm is coming in My tears I know we've had enough Bailing, bailing, bailing I've come Hard to be loved I've come Hard to be loved Be loved I've come Hard to be loved The legend lives on from the Chippewa Home to a big lake they call Gitche Gumee The lake it is said never gives up their dead When the skies above ever turn gloomy With a load of iron ore 26,000 tons more Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed When the gales of November came early The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from Somerville in Wisconsin As the big freighters go it was bigger than most With a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland Then later that night when the ship's bell rang North wind began failing What's up? I just finished the Grand Portage It was one of the worst experiences of my entire life Threw up on the first mile It was terrible, literally on the side of the road But we made it to Fort Charlotte Not all of it Nick just went back to get the canoe About five miles back, four miles So he won't be back until 10pm And I'm gonna housewife it up in Fort Charlotte Which is frankly disgusting I mean there's mouse shit everywhere And I just took off my boots and That's my foot And that was only the beginning
