Day 82 – Wednesday – October 31, 2012
Backcountry Beatles
Picture yourself in a group on a mountain
With Juniper trees and baby blue skies
Somebody scouts as you hike past the pine trees
That grow so incredibly high
Columbine flowers of yellow and red
Growing on the river bed
Look for the rocks stacked up neat and high
And we’re gone
Hiking in Baja, California
Hiking in Baja, California
Hiking in Baja, California
Follow them down to a trail through a canyon
We carefully tread making sure not pass one by
Everyone smiles as we hike past the sage bush
Whose medicinal properties we did try
Within a few weeks we’ll be at the shore
Ready to kayak away
So stuff down your packs and get ready for more
Cos we’re off
Hiking in Baja, California
Hiking in Baja, California
Hiking in Baja, California
I’ve just seen a place I can’t forget the time or place
where we just hiked
this is the life for me and I want all the world to see
I love living in the backcountry
Hiking yes we are hiking
And we keep moving from day to day
Hike! I need more mountains!
Hike! Not just any mountains!
Hike! You know I need these mountains!
Hii-ike!
When I was young, so much younger than today
I never needed any of these challenges
Not in any way
But now those days are gone and I feel so muscular
I got a taste of the backcountry and now I just want more
Hike with me if you can we’re going down
And I do appreciate when water’s around
Hike with me if you can we’re going down
Won’t you please please find water with me
Let me take you down cos we’re going to
Baja, California
It’s day eighty-three
There’s nothing to storm about
Baja, California forever
Living is easy in mega-mids
Evaluating all you see
It’s getting hard to finish assignments
But it all works out
It doesn’t matter much to me
Let me take you down
Cos we’re going to
Baja, California
It’s day eighty-three
There’s nothing to storm about
Baja, California forever
