THE BACKPACK SONG

"The Backpack Song" (Studio Version) - Bear Attack

Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track


Oh, I've been wanting to see you 
Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me 
Oh, I've been longing to see you

You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time
You don't know how much I need you 
Once I feel the downy snow, the only home I've ever known 
I'll hold you close when I see you

There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go

And it seems to me
We sing soft and low
Such a sweet hello

Backpack on my back, standing on a railroad track
It won't be long 'til I see you
Why do I always have to leave the only one I'll ever need?
Now hold me close while I breathe you

There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go

And it seems to me 
We sing soft and low
 Such a sweet hello

Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track 
Oh, I've been wanting to see you
 Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
 Oh, I've been longing to see you

You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time (There's no way I could let you go)
You don't know how much I need you (There's no way I could let you go)
Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me (There's no way I could let you go)
Oh, I've been longing to see you (There's no way I could let you go)

And it seems to me (Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track) 
We sing soft and low (Oh, I've been wanting to see you)
Such a sweet hello (Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me)
(Oh, I've been longing to see you)

You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time (There's no way I could let you go)
You don't know how much I need you
