about

written on Steens Mountain, Harney County, Oregon

lyrics

Meet me high up on the hillside
Bring a matchbook and your pocketknife
And we'll stay here
Til the birds start talking English
And we sing their songs

Nothing could go wrong
The power lines give up a spark
The prairie fires light up the dark
And the rattlesnakes
Will rattle in time
To the sound of my guitar

Meet me high up on the hillside
Bring a matchbook and your pocketknife
And we'll stay here
Til the birds start talking English
