SHEEP CREEK
I'm going up to Sheep, gonna climb me a mountain
Gonna dangle my feet in a cool mountain stream
I'm gonna fill up my lungs with the Rocky Mountain air
I'll be there, if only in my dreams
I'm going up to Sheep, gonna climb me a mountain
Gonna dangle my feet in a cool mountain stream
I'm gonna fill up my lungs with the Rocky Mountain air
I'll be there, if only in my dreams
Well, it's hard to imagine in this eight-dollar room
That a man can be free as a breeze
And that these tired 'ol feet on this Calgary street
Were once lying under a tall fir tree
And isn't it strange how fate is a-blowing
And leave you wounded by the road
I'm gonna like those wounds, I'm gonna stand up tall
And I tell you the first place that I'm gonna go
I'm going up to Sheep, gonna climb me a mountain
Gonna dangle my feet in a cool mountain stream
I'm gonna fill up my lungs with the Rocky Mountain air
I'll be there, if only in my dreams
Well there's a woman who said that I promised her something
I don't know, maybe she's right
'Cause a man will promise his heart and his soul
If it's late enough at night
So I gave her my watch and we parted with a curse
And she told me where I could go
Well, I've been there, thanks, quite recently too
But now heaven's the place I'm planning to go
I'm going up to Sheep, gonna climb me a mountain
Gonna dangle my feet in a cool mountain stream
I'm gonna fill up my lungs with the Rocky Mountain air
I'll be there, if only in my dreams
Oh yes I'm going up to Sheep, gonna climb me a mountain
Gonna dangle my feet in a cool mountain stream
I'm gonna fill up my lungs with the Rocky Mountain air
I'll be there, if only in my dreams
