about

Written in Hawaii, this song is about longing for the mountains.

lyrics

Standing here on this sandy beach,
Soaking in this mess from my head to my feet.
I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout what they call “you and me,” and I ain’t gonna lie woman, I’m thinkin’ ‘bout casting that idea to sea.
I’ve been a man yeah been strong, but the day is setting here, you know this day is getting long.

I told you girl that I’d be coming back,
And I know I told you honey, that I’d be headed home.
But you see when I get there, to you I might still be gone.

Won’t you play me some of that high country rock n roll, won’t you carry me south bound wind, take me like the wind and snow.
Won’t you play me some of that high country rock n roll. I know it’s wrong for some of us, but it can feel good to feel so cold.

The air is nice here, the trees are green,
And that sweet love reggae really rocks me to sleep.
Since, I’ve known you I’ve received so many blessing, so many graces, but you know I was bound to see far off places.
This bottle of bourbon, just ain’t helping me along, so just like the south bound wind.
I’ve got to keep blowin’ on.

Won’t you play me some of that high country rock n roll, won’t
you carry me south bound wind, take me like the wind and snow.
Won’t you play me some of that high country rock n roll. I know it’s wrong for some of us, but it can feel good to feel so cold.
