Every year I can't wait for that week Jump on a plane up to that magical place Where Bush Lights flow like Fox Creek and the negative digits bite sharp on your face Away from the city across highway 8 Northeast of St. Croix you breath a little deeper. Where the smallmouths and big northerns await Near the weedbeds and holes of perch keepers. Chorus: Oh it's not the fish on the line or the sun on your face. It's the memories and good times you'll never replace. It's not a dot on a map you just punch in you know. Up North is a mindset, let's get there and go. It's just the beginning of the annual quest From Blacksmiths to Ducks where G meets with I For the burgers and cheese curds that rank as the best. Happy hour means it's just 20 bucks for each round you buy Music on speakers from Brodie does play Im feeling good now and it's not even five George, Merle, Hank, Loretta, and of course some Conway Another 8 lattes, I'm glad Mike Borg can drive Chorus: Oh it's not the fish on the line or the sun on your face. It's the memories and good times you'll never replace. It's not a dot on a map you just punch in you know. Up North is a mindset, let's get there and go. Out on the ice, Slim Chet and Bear are the leaders Get those panfish located while we put up the tents and ignite the heaters. Tip-ups in place probably a dozen, one beep from Borgie means Carter start runnin'. If the bite is too slow or the music too fine Just crack one or burn one and reel up your line. Out on that Wisconsin beach sun glints on ice pellets as an eagle soars past. This scene is one that you just want to last. Chorus: Oh it's not the fish on the line or the sun on your face. It's the memories and good times you'll never replace. It's not a dot on a map you just punch in you know. Up North is a mindset, let's get there and go. After fish fry, Steve's jam out and the horse races, Toasts to old Douggie draw smiles on all of the faces. Chorus: Oh it's not the fish on the line or the sun on your face. It's the memories and good times you'll never replace. Not just a dot on a map you just punch in you know. Up North is a mindset, can't wait to go.
