lyrics

when I was young
my parents drove us to New England one July
campfires and barns
but it was the FernGully woods that caught my eye

when my twenties came
oh god, I formed a band and drove the land, I raced
Oslo to Spain
Alaska down to Georgia, searching for that place

[c]
Green Mountain sun
you know I’ll come for you
Green Mountain sun
you know I’ll come for you

when I hit thirty
man, I packed my car, I packed my car and left
the start of a journey
to the land I longed for, the land I can’t forget

[b]

each day I wake up in that
place I spied, that day when I was young
I’ll always stay
here in this dream I’ve found, my Green Mountain Sun
