To the ri...vers    I will be strong. To the fo...rests    I’ll find peace there.   To the wild country        where I belong.                                        Oh I know sometimes I worry    on worldly ways and means   and I can see the future   killing me.        On a misbegotten highway    of prophesies and dreams   a road to nowhere and eternity.        And I know it’s just changes    and mankind marching on I know we can’t live in yesterday.       But compared to what we’re losing    and what it means to me I’d give my life and throw the rest away       to the mountains    I can rest there. To the ri...vers    I will be strong. To the fo...rests    I’ll find peace there.   To the wild country        where I belong. To the wild country        where I belong.
