Track It to the River

Verse 1

Ska ties his boots before the sun shows up

Zarreta's still yawning in the truck

He says watch the wind and watch your step

She nods like she already knows enough

Pre-Chorus

Down the ridge where the pine trees lean

He teaches her to walk quiet and slow

Two pairs of eyes on the same green line

Learning what the wild won't show

Chorus

Ska and Zarreta out at first light

Chasing something bigger than the morning

Ska and Zarreta under open sky

Sometimes we win and sometimes we go home hungry

(Go home hungry)

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Track it to the river

Oh-oh oh-oh

Laughing either way

Verse 2

A buck breaks cover and he's gone like smoke

Zarreta throws her hands up high

Ska just shrugs and says that's how it goes

The woods don't owe you anything tonight

Pre-Chorus

So they sit on a log and share a flask

Watching hawks write circles on the blue

She says next time I'll be faster than that

He says next time I'll be proud of you

Chorus

Ska and Zarreta out at first light

Chasing something bigger than the morning

Ska and Zarreta under open sky

Sometimes we win and sometimes we go home hungry

(Go home hungry)

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Track it to the river

Oh-oh oh-oh

Laughing either way

Bridge

Rain on the ridgeline

Mud on her sleeves

He points at the far field

She finally sees

Patience is a kind of aim

And missing is part of the game

Chorus

Ska and Zarreta out at first light

Chasing something bigger than the morning

Ska and Zarreta under open sky

Sometimes we win and sometimes we go home hungry

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Track it to the river

Oh-oh oh-oh

Laughing either way

(Oh-oh oh-oh)
