Big Two-Hearted River: Part I Lyrics

The train moves outta sight now, round hills of timber, the burnt remains of the old saloon

Well, if you're ready for it, come feel the river, it's nice and warm where the sun has been

Feel the weight of the rod on your shoulder, smell the sweet of the forest fern

Old feeling of a breathing being, nothing can take this away

Nick Adams sees the wind and the rain, and the mountains swaying, fresh trout in the stream

And if you're getting ready to go, pack your bags, don't delay it, the big two-hearted river awaits

No need to write or think now, no need to worry, it's all behind you like everything

Here is Michigan, and Lake Superior, here's star-lit skies

Nick Adams sees the wind and the rain, and the pine trees swaying, fresh trout in the stream

And if you're ready to go, feast your eyes, don't delay it, the big two-hearted river awaits
