lyrics

I've got 3000 grand burning in a hole in my jeans
All ill-gotten, baby you know what that means
I've gotta get away before the cops come nabbin'
Gotta get myself down to a log cabin!

C1
If that faulty glove don't leave a telltale fingerprint
If that out of state DA don't wanna make the trip
And if that sniffing dog hasn't yet learned cocaine
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine

Wake up in the morning to the call of the loon
Hear the oak creak, know winter's coming soon
I still get nervous when I hear the sound of a car
Still pack my pistol fishin in the reservoir

C2
If a few select memos get prematurely shredded
If that cab driver don't quite recall where I was headed
And if that clumsy tech spills my blood sample down the drain
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine

Lived twenty years now in the shadow of the peak
Still watching them watch me when I went downtown last week
If I die before I spend the rest of my hoard
Bury me like a dragon neath Mount Saddlehorn!

If the police copter runs out of petroleum
If it's false that ether leaves stains on linoleum
And if those muddy footprints are all swept away by rain,
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine

If these unmarked dirt roads steer the staties off my path
If the statute of limitations quietly slips past
And if I don't go too bored all the way out here in the middle of nowhere without even a reliable 5G connection, surrounded by cicada sounds all day and all night until just to feel any trace of human emotion again, I rob a fucking train...
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine, oh yeah
I'd like to grow old in the woods of Maine
