Heath Eric: music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This is the song that inspired the entire album. I'll never forget the day this came to me and the smile on my son's face while fishin' in the creek...

“Fishin’ In the Creek with My T”

Son, I’ll try my best to help you grow

And tell you every answer that I know

Let’s follow the trees to the edge of the hill

Then down through the switchbacks we’ll go

We’ll leave this crazy world behind

And head out on a journey with no end

All the lessons you can learn

We’ll find just up around the bend

<CHORUS>

There ain’t a place that I’d rather be

Than feeling the moving water up to my knees

I’d like to spend my days under the sun

Inhaling a cool mountain breeze

Listening to the trees bend

And watching a young boy smile once again

No, there ain’t a place that I’d rather be…

Than fishin’ in the creek with my T

 

Hold the line straight ahead on the boat

There’s a small rapid, right there, up ahead

Let’s pull off here and cast a few times,

Take a drink of water, walk around, and stretch our legs

I feel the water rushing through my toes

And watch Turner glow with joy

I know that life is warm and good

And I’m living in the moment, in this creek, with my boy

<CHORUS>

  <Bridge>

You can keep the corporate grind

And that crazy career race too

Million dollar board meetings

Were made for lonely fools

I’d rather be alive and living free

Exploring the world with my T

 

I’ll take the perfect mix of sun & shade

A lifetime full of days, just like these

Crystal clear blue sky with big puffy clouds

With the water roaring as it pushes us downstream – Do you see what I mean?

<CHORUS>
