Finger picking tune about the hum drum of winter

lyrics

I’m finding myself like a bear in winter I haven’t been outside in a couple days
Dreaming of the mushrooms in April longing for the sunshine on my face the colder months seem to last a lifetime. Firewood never seems to last long enough.
If it’s a joke, I missed the punch line this April fool is calling your bluff
I think I’m going to buy myself a camper follow the Sun across the USA live my life in perpetual sunny weather and find a piece of Home along the way. Going to find a piece of Home along the way.
It’s supposed to warm up a little later, but Burr it sure is nippy out today
Out the window I see the frost on the Jeep. Can’t believe a word the weatherman has to say.
More and more the feeling of this damned old cabin, fever turns the front room into a prison cell
You made me a believer now get me up and moving on this long walk out of hell
I think I’m going to buy myself a camper follow the Sun across the USA live my life in perpetual sunny weather and find a piece of Home along the way. Going to find a piece of Home along the way.
The fishing poles are piled up in the corner. My walking stick is hanging on the wall. The old John boat is sitting underneath a frozen cover. They haven’t moved an inch since I left them in the fall.
I think I’m gonna buy myself a camper follow the Sun across the USA live my life in perpetual sunny weather and find a piece of Home along the way. Going to find a piece of Home along the way.
