about

Written on a drive from Portland back to Bend Oregon

lyrics

Green streaks on the mountain top
Forgive me if I don't want to stop
Feelin' high at 5,000 feet
I sing a song as I'm crossin' the street

Sour diesel makin' me run
I take a shot then I'm off like a gun
Fresh tires keep holdin' the road
I'm not greedy I just want what I'm owed

Three Fingered Jack
Above timberline
The fires can't reach that high up the peak so
They're not even tryin'

Hot coffee while the engine purrs
Time to pass so I give her the spurs
Sharp curves say the yellow signs
I'd take it slow but I don't have the time

Three Fingered Jack
Above timberline
The devil can't reach that high up the peak so
He's not even tryin'

...yeah I knew Jack way back
way back when he had a full hand
yeah, Jack could swing an axe
but Jack shoulda looked back
the devil was on his tail...

Sun sets on a burnt red tree
Like it was all just painted for me
Grey peaks like spikes in the sky
So many ways to get yourself high...

Right in tune as I'm crossin' the bridge
Gettin' cold back home in the fridge
Cat Stevens sings me a song
I turn it up and my troubles are gone

Three Fingered Jack
Above timberline
The earth can crack and take it all back so can
Three Fingered Jack
Above timberline
The earth can crack and take it all back like
Three Fingered Jack
