1. I WAS BORN IN A BLIZZARD IN A WILLY'S JEEP

THE U.P. BLOOD IN MY VEINS RUNS DEEP

BUT I MOVED DOWN HERE BACK IN ‘65

CAUSE THE MINE CLOSED DOWN AND I HAD TO SURVIVE

WORKING IN THE CITY WITH A MILLION LIGHTS

GIVING ‘ER TARPAPER DAY AND NIGHT

THE FOREMAN SAYS I’M A WORKING FOOL

CAUSE I EARN MY PAY AND DON’T BREAK NO RULES

CHORUS:

IF I DIDN’T NEED THE WORK I WOULDN’T BE HERE

I’D BE BACK HOME ON THE LAST FRONTIER

GETTING ME SOME OF THAT CULTURE SHOCK

LISTENING TO SOME YOOPER TALK



2. CRUISING IN THE CHEVY THROUGH THE COOL GREEN PINES

ON A BEAT UP HIGHWAY WITH SHOT UP SIGNS

EATING A PASTY OUT AT AHO’S CAMP

PLAYING 15-2 BY THE KEROSENE LAMP

THROWING SOME SHOES WITH THE OTHER GUYS

SHOOTING THE BREEZE AND JUST SWATTING FLIES

GETTING ALL LIT UP ON THAT SIX POINT BEER

CRUISING THE BACK ROADS AND SHINING DEER



IF I DIDN’T NEED THE WORK I WOULDN’T BE HERE

I’D BE BACK HOME ON THE LAST FRONTIER

GETTING ME SOME OF THAT CULTURE SHOCK

LISTENING TO SOME YOOPER TALK
