about

Inspired by life in Dawson City Yukon Canada.

lyrics

You could build it out of solid stone.
You could build it from lumber alone.
But everyday you got to look at it and call it your home.

You can try shingle and nail.
Pine board and batten, wrought iron rail.
But baby you need a roof up when it starts to hail.

We would build a wall and then raise three more.
We would set some screen and hinge up a back door.
We would fill our living room with shit from the free store.
We would have spruce smoke out of the chimney.
We would have a freezer full of moose meat and whisky.
We would spend our nights looking up at the stars.

Cut down some timber and build us a frame.
We’ll build an outhouse and give it a name.
And we’ll stretch out in the evening to work out the pain.

Chink up the spaces and then we’ll move in.
Lay down a mattress and have us a kid.
Put all the boards in the cupboards and lose all of the lids.

We would build a wall and then raise three more.
We would set some screen and hinge up a back door.
We would fill our living room with shit from the free store.
We would have spruce smoke out of the chimney.
We would have a freezer full of moose meat and whisky.
We would spend our nights looking up at the stars.
