A LIFE'S DREAM
To be famous
I have no wish to be.
With movie stars and politicans,
Well, thats just not for me.
I believe in freedom.
Believe me, that's true.
But free from what?
I haven't a clue.
I crave a simple life,
with family and friends.
With all its ups and downs
and life's little bends.
A cabin in the mountains,
A lady by my side.
Out in the wilderness,
That's where I'd abide.
With clean, clear creeks
And trees, old, straight, and tall
Living up in Alaska,
Boy, could I have a ball.
o sit on my cabin porch
and watch nature's strife.
To live with nature,
To live that life!
With fishing and hunting
and living off the land.
In front of my cabin door,
I think I'd make my last stand.
