New Song - "Birch and Bismark"

Just a preface to this song - I love BYU and the environment in Provo. I just wrote this in memory of where I'm from and all the things I miss about it. The "crowded prison" in the second to last chorus is referring to all the memories, not BYU! :)

Birch and Bismark.m4a

Verse:

Just take me back to the Evergreen State.

At least there I know it's daytime -

not in the way when the sun is out

but where everything is alright.

Chorus:

Give me the Columbia River

just thinkin' bout it makes me shiver.

Get me out of this valley I'm in,

I wanna go back to Badger Mountain.

Verse:

If I was hanging out on Birch and Bismark

life could not be better.

On Entiat or Piper yeah

we're all birds of a feather.

Chorus:

Give me the Yakima River,

just thinkin' bout it makes me shiver.

Pull me down from this altitude I'm in,

I wanna go back to George Washington.

Bridge:

Let's roll down to Leslie Groves

while Mary jumps out the windows.

Octopus Garden and spudnuts galore;

yeah the Uptown baby is what I live for.

Verse:

Put me inside a Privia and

drive me to Howard Amon.

We could sit out on the dock all night

or catch a show at Ray's Golden Lion.

Chorus:

Give me all-nighters with a Nutter,

I wouldn't want one with any other.

Free me from this crowded prison,

I wanna go back to Seagull Island.

Verse:

Bring me to the nearest coffee-shop,

I could drink bestie-jet-teas forever.

I'll wait while you smoke a shmigarette

out in any type of weather.

Chorus:

Give me that city in any season,

I can't think of any reason

why I've gone so long missin' -

I just wanna go back to Richland!
