lyrics

I know you're down because the heather is brown
But the trout are right about to bring the grizzlies 'round.
If there's a Donner left in Denver, I'll bless your trip
But a calmer man than I would never let you slip.

Hold on son, hold on son
Don't you think that you're the only one
Hold on son, hold on son
Folding now makes you look the colder one

Your mama wrote to me before she passed
She'd plead for me to lead you on a tighter path
And I know that I been drinking like a gutter fish,
But what kind of a dick would nick his mom's last wish.

Chorus

I know that most I'll do is slow your flow
'Cause you can't each a trout where or how to go
Just promise me you'll make your mama proud
And pay your dad a visit when the heather is loud

Chorus
