North Country

Well the weekends finally here
 St. Croix River, here I come
 Time for me to disappear,
 Head into that sky-blue-water sun
 Im going up north
 Ten thousand lakes say jump in
 Those blue-eyed girls know something
 So you better be listening
 Get on board
 Gather up all of your friends
 This is where the blacktop ends
 This is where the fun begins
 You are entering
 This is where the old man Mississippi
 Starts to rip and make his run
 And when you see those northern lights, hold on tight
 Because the ride has just begun
 Were going up north
 Ten thousand lakes say jump in
 Those blue-eyed girls know something
 So you better start listening
 So get on board
 Gather up all of your friends
 This is where the fun begins
 You are entering
 Up here we need to learn to sing
 A song for every season
 Winter has a reason
 Otherwise thered be no spring
 When summer comes we soak it in
 And play our way through autumn
 Raise your glasses if you got em
 And lets toast the whole damn thing
 Put the city in the rear view
 Forget your 9-to-5
 Youre about to see North Country come alive
 Up here we need to learn to sing
 A song for every season
 Winter has a reason
 Otherwise there'd be no spring
 When summer comes
 We get wild and free
 There ain't a better place to be
 So raise your hands and sing with me
 We're all going up to the North Country
