Amy Fossey - Cabin in the Woods Lyrics

My Dad bought a cabin, way out in the woods
He got 40 acres at the dead end, just because
He dreamed he was an eagle, and went on a whim
We don't talk anymore, and I forgot to thank him
I moved to the city and that didn't fit in
Because I love big lights and a fancy meetin'
He said you're just like your grandpa, trying to impress
Showing up everywhere, always best dressed
My Dad hated that life, he was a true hippy
Said I laughed just like my mom, when she was tipsy
Old memories haunted him, just like me
I never got over mine, and neither did he
I decided to work all day and all night
Show him I am more than just city lights
I wasted all my years chasing a dream
So, they all left, it's just my kids and me.
Went to bed and decided today was the day
That I go back to the past and make it ok
God sent me a package of a blue shaped tear
Cause there's more than city, when I look in the mirror
My Dad hated that life, he was a true hippy
Said I laughed just like my mom, when she was tipsy
Old memories haunted him, just like meee
I never got over mine, and neither did heee
I'm still white trash and a little country
Can't wash away that, with geography
So, I bought a pickup truck and drove my half ton
Down to the lake, went fishing with my son.
I taught him to tie a knot on his fishing hook
Just like my Dad taught me, at Clear Water Brook.
My Dad bought a cabin way out in the woods
He got 40 acres at the dead end, just because
He dreamed he was an eagle and went on a whim
We don't talk anymore, and I forgot to thank him.
We don't talk anymore, and I forgot to thank him.
