Northwest

St. Helen's ash is evergreen

Forever rainin' in my dreams

I don't need a picture

To remember Tilton River

Rollin' back behind our house

Of all the byways I've been down

Highway 508 knows me the best

The compass in my heart still points Northwest

Where the trees grow mountain tall

Most of the summer feels like fall

Salmon run and the eagles fly

You're in Heaven but you didn't die

Whistle blowin' at the mill

Hickory shirts'll pay the bills

I dream in shades of green and gray and gold

And I go home

To Lewis County loggin' show

White pass covered up in snow

Make it back for Christmas

God knows how bad I miss it

Lookin' through a bus window

On the road again you know

That song that's in my soul is why I left

But my heart still points Northwest

Where the trees grow mountain tall

Most of the summer feels like fall

Salmon run and the eagles fly

You're in Heaven but you didn't die

Whistle blowin' at the mill

Hickory shirts'll pay the bills

I dream in shades of green and gray and gold

And I go home

I go home

Pacific Coast

Cottonwood smoke

It's in my bones

Oh, take me home

Where the trees grow mountain tall

Most of the summer feels like fall

Salmon run and the eagles fly

You're in Heaven but you didn't die

Through the clouds, I see the sun

Shinin' down where I come from

I dream in shades of green and gray and gold

And I go home

Take me home

Yeah, I go home

Cottonwood smoke

Takes me home

In my bones
