about

I wrote this song after I had been laid off as an engineer. By hiking in the woods every day I found my way.

lyrics

Back In The Woods © 2015

Running in a maze
All my working days
Had its cost
It took some time
To finally find
I was lost
There's a country boy buried in me
Wanting to break free
Kept telling me, I need to be
Back in the woods

Chorus
Back in the woods
Where I can breathe
Something in the trees
Sets this country boy free
Back in the woods
Surrounded by green
Back in the woods
Where I found me

This old world can spin you around
Twist you in a knot
But once I'm under that canopy
That don't mean a lot
It's the smell of white pine
In the air
It's the quiet that brings me peace
It's calling me, and I want to be
Back in the woods
*Chorus

Bridge:
When my sole is wearing thin
And I'm weary from that climb
I just tighten up my laces
Take one step at a time
*Chorus

I traded concrete
And city streets
For a wooded glen
I shed my shiny shoes
For some hiking boots
And this silly grin
There's more to life
Than this work-a-day world
This rat don't race
Gonna take some time
Let my mind unwind
Back in the woods
*Chorus

Back in the woods
Where I found me
