Cookie - Evergreen

Cooler packed in the backseat
Driving, desperate for some relief
The cabin waits like it’s hungry
Feed it problems, it will make peace
No money; the mountain won’t charge
All the space that we see is ours
Branches like open arms
More peaceful than a choir
And the oldest thing I’ve seen
When the trees outlast the trouble
They call it Evergreen
I’m never up at the sunrise
Somehow here I like it with you
You hand me shoes and jacket
And take me to a hundred mile view
No bad news, no telephone wires
It’s been here through the hottest fires
And lived to tell the tale
More peaceful than a choir
And the oldest thing I’ve seen
When the trees outlast the trouble
They call it Evergreen
You say this country still has a fighting chance
And every moment we’ve had is one that’s passed
I look at you, move your hat, and grab your hand
I taste your sunscreen
I think I’m seeing
What all these trees mean
More peaceful than a choir
And the oldest thing I’ve seen
When the trees outlast the trouble
They call it Evergreen
You say this country still has a fighting chance
Evergreen
And every moment we’ve had is one that’s passed
Evergreen
I look at you, move your hat, and grab your hand
Evergreen
Evergreen
Evergreen
