[Title: Adirondack Girl] [Short Intro] [Soft felt piano and fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] Learned to drive on a gravel road, Daddy’s Ford and a heavy load. Maple shade and a porch-light glow, Mama praying when the sun sank low. She said, “Child, when the way ain’t clear, Trust His heart; He’ll meet you here.” [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to see each mile To trust the One who’s been here all the while. [Chorus] I’m an Adirondack girl, Northern roots and a heart of faith. Got those mountains in my memory, And Jesus with me all the way. I may wander, I may roam, But His love will lead me home. Through every storm, through every change, I’m an Adirondack girl— And He’s with me all the way. [Verse 2] Sunday bells and a wooden pew, Grandma’s Bible, ribbon blue. Her voice would tremble, soft and strong, And I found shelter in those songs. Now when midnight shakes my soul, I trust the hands I cannot hold. [Pre-Chorus] When His ways are hard to see, I trust the heart that’s holding me. [Chorus] I’m an Adirondack girl, Northern roots and a heart of faith. Got those mountains in my memory, And Jesus with me all the way. I may wander, I may roam, But His love will lead me home. Through every storm, through every change, I’m an Adirondack girl— And He’s with me all the way. [Bridge] [Pull back to piano; strings gradually rise] Faith ain’t knowing how it ends, It’s trusting Who has always been Faithful when the answers wait, Good when I can’t see the way. [Final Chorus] [Full warm arrangement; gentle male harmony] I’m an Adirondack girl, Northern roots and a heart of faith. Got those mountains in my memory, And Jesus with me all the way. I may wander, I may roam, But His love will lead me home. Through every storm, through every change, I’m an Adirondack girl— And He’s with me all the way. [Outro] [Soft piano, acoustic guitar, resolving strings] Wherever these roads take me, Jesus, You’re my home. [End]
