High Country
-- by Steve Topping -- Copyright 1998 -- topwheel@softcom.net

Walk the high country lads
A closer look at the stars
Leave your cares at home lads
Enjoy the lights so far

Looking and thinking as you walk and smile
Slow down or maybe stop awhile
Look around and enjoy the wild
And see if it fits your style

What are you looking at little chipmunk?
As you sit there on a stump
I won’t hurt you, so don't you worry
So sit there awhile, and don't be in a hurry

Ah!! what a magnificent view I see
As seen by only a few
So don't be in a hurry lads
To be enjoyed and savored by you

See that little hawk in flight?
Oh what is it thinking, as it scurries around real tight?
Maybe it's thinking of having dinner in flight
As he looks to the ground with it's perfect sight
Ah!! a little mouse it sees with its eyes so sharp
Dinner, it thinks, what a delight

Do you like jerky friend?
That's what I'm having for supper it seems
Ah!! berries from the vine
With jerky and wine
Sublime

Walk the high country lads
See for yourself
Breathe the sweet air and give a taste
To the water so pure and do not walk in haste

I will leave for home at dawns early light
But my heart will stay as I wish with all my might
For the day I can return to enjoy the clear blue skies
That belong to all who just dare open their eyes.
