North of the Sun - By Dan'l MclLhenny

When me and Six-String found the right road

We’d stitched together a whole routine

Find a campsite, let the tailgate down

As close as we could get to a gurglin’ stream

Buddies sittin’ back, living the dream - until evening came rollin’ around

 

North of the Sun, givin’ how steady we’d go

Two souls ready for natures next show

That glow in-between, day, before night

When florescent light might surprise the eyes

How quickly it fades to bow goodbye

So, stars may take their nautical, nocturnal turn

And start…passage across the sky

 

There’s a formula I read once; I cannot remember where…

Should two legs and four legs simply agree

Forming a friendship - letting it be

It can last a lifetime and then some too

If memories count like old photographs do

Recording a smidgeon of past

Sure, as shootin’ we both had a blast

 

Maybe we should become a trio?

Six–String wagged his bushy tail

 

So, I nicknamed my guitar - Dawgster MaGee

My ancient blue pick-up responded to Clem

We camped and drove and camped again

Wherever music felt good to play

Folks said they were often carried away

From whistles, strums, or accent barks

There by the fire with cracklin’ sparks 

Me and Six-String and Dawgster MaGee

   

North of the Sun, givin’ how steady we’d go

Two souls ready for natures next show

That glow in-between, day, before night

When florescent light might surprise the eyes

Then quickly fades to bow goodbye

So, stars may take their nautical, nocturnal turn

And start…passage across the sky
