I’m out here 500 miles from my car
By plane it seems close but by foot it feels far
I’m not sick but I’m tired I’m hungry and sore
what’s that sound oh good lord it’s a boar
Hey hey John Muir I know that you know
the mountains are calling so hiking I go
Started in Georgia northbound to Maine
By sections I reckon in the sun and the heat and the heights and the rain
Here’s to Benton Mckay and Bill Bryson too
the volunteers that helped clear whats under my boot
to the balds and the boulders, shelters and springs
to privys and ticks, the gnats and bee stings
To the coyotes and ponies and rattlers and snails
to the bears and their cubs that travel these trails
To the kindness of strangers and freshness of springs
To the constant conversations bout Lord of the Rings
I’m up and I’m down I’m hot and I’m cold
I’m feeling thankful these mountains are old
I’m down and I’m up, I’m cold and I’m hot
I’m feeling lucky for the time I’ve got
