Dan Sonenberg - Red Paint People

I'm on my way up to Rockland
To try my luck on the ferry
I'm told that the natives are very
Supportive and kind
It's been quite a year on the mainland
I've lived my whole life on a screen
Not sure I knew it would mean
I'd go out of my mind
So I packed up my bags for the trip
Strapped this old uke to my hip
Grabbed a drink
Took a sip
And set sail for the land of
The Red Paint People
The Red Paint People
Oh I'm told they once came
To the shores of this land
Such a long long time ago
I didn't know
What I didn't know
If I ever come back to the mainland
It won't be because I need savin'
From the denizens of North Haven
They've treated me fine
It's been twenty long years since I traveled
Across the mighty Penobscot
Some might've got tired but I'm not
I'm towing the line
Since I packed up my bags for the boat
And the island air coated my throat
This new life
Got my vote
So I stayed in the land… of…
The Red Paint People
The Red Paint People
Oh I'm told they once came
To the shores of this land
Such a long long time ago
I didn't know
What I didn't know
