A song about a trip to see my relatives in Canada, sailing on the Miramichi River, learning genealogy, watching for wildlife and sunsets.
Lyrics
In God's country there's a place that brings a smile to my face, Where the winding river flows out into the bay, And all the people go their own merry way. Cruisin' for Two-Fifty on the mighty Miramichi, Out here on a sailboat ten times as bi as me, Plowin' through the waves, goin' in with the tide, But I'm behind the wheel so it's one hell of a crazy ride. Lookin' through old pictures, learnin' 'bout the past, Searchin' for the arrows up there on the mast, Watch for mortar cannonballs aimed at that strip of land, At Point-aux-Carr watch the sunset on the water and sand. Goin' down to the camp, watchin' out for bear and deer, Always wary of the wildlife so near, Life seems so much simpler living day to day, The sun peeks out on through the clouds and you can spot each ray. Well, Nana called it God's Country, She's from way up there, See the purity of the earth, the water, and the air. Walkin' down through Chatham, Got no place to go, Walk along the riverside, The water ebbs and flows. Memories of the summer days before folks went thier separate ways, The Miramichi flows without restraint out into the bay. Well, Nana called it God's Country, She's from way up there, See the purity of the earth, the water, and the air.
