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.
