SWEET SIERRA
All day walking, walking, walking
All day walking, walking, walking
And get to the lake
Lay out all your tent poles, struggle with geometry
And take a sweaty stroll down to the lake
It’s much cleaner than you’ll ever be, it’s bluer than your eyes are
It sparkles in the sun while you just bake
Oooh, how the wind blows
Whispering, tempting, telling you to stay dry
But in the company of solitude, you’re as sexy as the wind
You are the stripper on the rock, the swan that dives
Oh, sweet sierra
Gladly will I swim your silver shore
In the end you leave me sore
But every year I just keep coming back for more
I’m smarter than a fire
I’m stronger than the plastic pieces purifying every drop I drink
I could be better to my mother, more patient with my niece
This pumping water business sure does let you think
Oooh, how the miles go
Unpacking all the stresses you can’t see
Wash them off in every stream, feel the ground beneath your feet
Understand you’re insignificant but free
Oh, sweet sierra
Gladly will I swim your silver shore
In the end you leave me sore
But every year I just keep coming back for more
Sweet sierra
Gladly will I walk your valley floor
In the end you leave me sore
But every year I just keep coming back for more
I don’t recognize you in a storm
Alive, alert, electric to the core
From all the rain and thunder, shelter under rocks and roots and...
We shouldn’t stay here anymore
Put on your boots and go
