lyrics

Driving To Quesnel

V1
Well I set out in the early morn go curving round the lake
Past all the gold adventure tours that no one seems to take
I roll up Devils canyon in a cool and steady climb
An when I pass the Stanley road I’m making perfect time

V2
I start to hope round every curve that wildlife will appear
It’s slightly disappointing now when all I see is deer
I wanna see some big horn moose and best of all some bear
Come on you furry reprobates I know that you’re out there

Chorus
Drive through 40 miles of trees just to get some groceries
Passin honkin great RVs I wish would go to hell
Rollin down through sun and rain mist and cloud and sun again
Drivin to Quesnel Drivin to Quesnel

V3
The flowers bloom on either side so red they seem to bleed
I see a hundred tiny roads and wonder where they lead
As I pass through Wingdam man I always have to stare my my my my my
Just like every time before there ain’t nobody there

Chorus
Middle rap
Up a hill and round a bend – down a hill round again
Pass abandoned mining gear – little more clear cut every year
Lonely cabins in the trees start to fade in small degrees
Half awake and feelin good glidin on through Cottonwood

I drive for 50 minutes and I drop 2000 feet
Coming to the big left turn the journey is complete
With popping ears I turn to face the things I know so well
A giant nugget in a pan and one gigantic too famiiar smell

Chorus

Ross Douglas SOCAN
