THE WILDERNESS HIGHWAY by The Green Mist Lyrics JM Poulson

(WHEN THE MIST COMES DOWN i’LL BE SINGING OUT LOUD)

WHEN THE MIST COMES DOWN I’LL BE SINGING OUT LOUD
WHEN THE MIST COMES I’LL BE STAYING AROUND THIS TIME
AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW WHERE THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED
THERE’S A LITTLE TOWN THERE SHE’S GOT A HEART OF GOLD

WE’LL BE RIDING ON THE WILDERNESS HIGHWAY
I’LL SEE YOU ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE
IN A LITTLE HOUSE THERE, I HOPE IT’S WARM INSIDE
HEY JACK! IS THAT YOU LAUGHING? YOU WERE ALWAYS A FUNNY CHILD

WE’LL BE RIDING ON THE WILDERNESS HIGHWAY
I’LL SEE YOU ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE

[GUITAR LINE]G/C
CHOIR WHEN THE MIST COMES DOWN – I THINK I’LL SLOW DOWN
CHOIR WHEN THE MIST COMES DOWN – I THINK I’LL GO DOWN
CHOIR WHEN THE MIST COMES DOWN – I THINK I’LL SLOW DOWN
CHOIR TO QUEENSTOWN

WHEN THE EMPIRE FELL WE WERE ALREADY OUT THERE
STANDING OUTSIDE THOSE GATES OF HELL

CALLING ON MOTHER NATURE
SHE CAN LOVE AND SHE CAN HATE YA.
WHEN THE MIST COMES DOWN AND THE RED RIVER RUNS

TAKE MY HAND HOLD IT FOR A WHILE
BABY DID I TELL YOU I LIKE YOUR STYLE
BUT YOU’LL NEVER GET FAR, NEVER GET FAR
DRIVING OLD CARS AND STAYING IN THE BARS
YOU CAN LIVE IT UP BUT YOU’LL NEVER LIVE IT DOWN
IF YOU WANNA GET BY AND SURVIVE THIS TOWN
YOU’VE GOT TO GIVE IT UP, YOU’VE GOT TO SACRIFICE

YOU GOT TO GIVE SOME LOVE.....IN QUEENSTOWN
...you were like a winter’s rose and you only bloom when it snows...
