Campfire Kansas Tab

woke up at 8, started the fire
                 
had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
                    
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens

The water, so bitter cold

                     
laid in the raft till it started moving
                          
the current just sang, the song was so soothing
                   
we stopped along the way
     
on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day

                            
our boats collide we feel the breeze
                                  
we stay afloat and make the most of everything

                        
by noon we had swing the ropes in the woods
                   
missed all dangers, snakes and the floods
                     
burned by the rays and next to our legs

the water, so bitter cold

                     
lunch had been saved along with the lighters
                    
wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
                    
never trust a man with food, change of clothes

and a drink in his hand

                            
our boats collide we feel the breeze
                                  
we stay afloat and make the most of everything

                    
the sun will set, the stars would shine
                          
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
                                      
lets take the moon and make it shine for everyone


                         
caught the last bus, with no time to linger
                    
driver seemed to be missing a finger
                              
i turned and looked away, to the bus, gravel road

and a beautiful day 

                            
our boats collide we feel the breeze
                                  
we stay afloat and make the most of everything

                    
the sun will set, the stars would shine
                          
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
                                      
lets take the moon and make it shine for everyone
                                      
lets take the moon and make it shine for everyone
