Greg Bohemen - Pacific Trip

I never touched the ocean, wasn't brought up near the sea
I'd never seen the mountains until I moved out to BC
No, I'd never seen the mountains until I moved out to BC
I wasn't very travelled, living sedentarily
Until I hoped on a train in the middle of a pain and I moved out to BC
Yea I hoped on a train in the middle of a pain and I moved out to BC
Wasn't planning on staying on the pacific trip I took
Only packed a guitar and my camping gear, only coming here for a look
But I hoped on a train in the middle of a pain and I moved out to BC
Now and then, I reflect on how it
Could've been, if I had stayed at home instead of
Taking this trip and fall in love with the Pacific
My father and fore-fathers were dairy farmers, you see
But I couldn't follow their footsteps, it just wasn't meant to be
Waking up at 5 am, sure as hell, wasn't for me
See I couldn't stop double-dipping, burnt my candle to the ground
I'd be playing music all night long, then try to go milk the cows
You know a flame that burns twice as bright burns only half as long
Now and then, I reflect on how it
Could've been, if I had stayed at home instead of
Taking this trip and fall in love with the Pacific
So I gave up on those chances, the opportunities were there
I gave up on my country band and the friends for whom I care
We still stay in touch, not quite as much, but believe me I still care
So I drank up all my savings like I flushed them down the drain
Now I'm just a broke musician, singing about his pain
Just another broke musician, singing in the island rain
Now and then, I reflect on how it
Could've been, if I had stayed at home instead of
Taking this trip and fall in love with the Pacific
I never touched the ocean wasn't brought up near the sea
I'd never seen the mountains until I moved out to BC
No I'd never seen the mountains until I moved out to BC
