CAMPING SONG
Seventy degrees what a beautiful day
the sun is shining bright yea we're on our way
heading to the mountains what a day for drive
going hiking and camping where I feel most alive
As I look at all the trees and the birds I grin
then I notice your eyes on the holiday in
I try to divert you with a promise of love
about sleeping by the fire with the stars above
CHORUS
But the more I smile the more you look inclined
to replace me with someone who will wine and dine
cause a tent out in the woods holds much less appeal
than a five star hotel and a seven course meal
still I try to convince you you like to camp

Mints on the pillow well not quite
I got a power bar want a bite?
Though there's no running water or an indoor john
well skinny dipping is free at the near by pond
yes I saw that bed and breakfast back there
and yes I saw that warning for bears
you worry to much babe it's gonna be fine sleeping outside
and waking to the sun
CHORUS
Check out this view not a person in sight
did I happen to mention it's ten mile hike
your feet will feel better in a few days dear
now I wish you wouldn't say that we're not stuck up here
When did you do that now ranger Ben he'll kick us out of here
can never come back again
guess we'll have to head home you say, cause it's dark
well, no need for that I know another state park
CHORUS
yea somewhere inside I know
you like to camp.
