I’m Singing
“I’m singing, I’m singing ‘bout this old State of mine
Closest thing to heaven that I will ever find
Her Great Lakes and her rivers are flowing sweet as wine
And an old empty beer can can buy a man a dime.”
- I’m Singing
Heaven for me
“So hand me down my flyrod and hand me down my gun
Dress me in my waders when my days on earth are done
Dump me in some corner in northern Michigan
Wrap my stiffened fingers ‘round a Pabst Blue Ribbon can.”
- Heaven for Me
I love two rivers
“I love two rivers and only one woman
They mean more than life to me
I’ll never tell you the name of the woman
The rivers are the Fox and the Manistee.”
- I Love Two Rivers
Times that we had
“When my pictures are all long gone from the wall
And I’m just a name from the past
Might there still be a part way back in your heart
That remembers the times that we had.”
- Times that We Had
Brown Bottle
“I’d like to take a moment if you can spare the time
Let me tell you something about this life of mine
Oh, I’ve had my troubles and yes, I got my friends
Not the least of either is the bottle in my hand.”
- The Old Brown Bottle
