God's Country (Miramichi) Lyrics

In God's country there's a place

That brings a smile to my face

Where the winding river flows out into the bay

And all the people go their own merry way

Cruising for two-fifty on the mighty Miramichi

Out here on a sailboat ten times as big as me

Plowing through the waves, going in with the tide

But I'm behind the wheel so it's one hell of a crazy ride

Looking through old pictures, learning 'bout the past

Searching for the arrows up there on the mast

And watch for mortar cannonballs aimed at that strip of land

At Point aux Carr watch the sun set on the water and sand

Going down to the camp watching out for bears and deer

Always wary of the wildlife so near

Life seems so much simpler living day to day

The sun peeks out on through the clouds and you can spot each ray

Nana called it God's country

She's from way up there

See the purity of the earth, the water, and the air

Walking down through Chatham, got no place to go

Walk along the riverside, the water ebbs and flows

Memories of the summer days

Before folks went their separate ways

The Miramichi flows without restraint

Out into the bay

Nana called it God's country

She's from way up there

See the purity of the earth, the water, and the air
