I took a walk into the pinesnI left a million trees behindnThey closed the hill I used to climbnHere's my rewardnnBack in the days of apple pienI'd lie along the mountainsidenI'd watch the black flies fill the skynHere's my rewardnnI found a friend one summer nightnShe'd lay her head down next to minenWe'd send the whippoorwills a flightnHere's my rewardnGray homes and endless highwaysnnDown in the maple grove,nTen times sweeter than the world above
