D
Every piece of gravel on this road
A
that I travel's telling me my load
Em
is too heavy, so I'm told
G
that I should cast my burdens down.
The spirits of my family
are whispering through the maple trees.
I just need to set my mind at ease,
so I'll walk to my hometown.
Em D
I'm hoping that she'll open up her arms to me.
Wolverine, Wolverine,
Sturgeon River keep on running cold and clean.
I just need for your September breeze
to take a hold of me
and wash away all the bitterness I've seen.
Wash away all the bitterness that I see.
This world has not been kind to me.
I guess I was too blind to see.
that all the things I ran away from,
only brought me back around.
I've been around a time or two.
I've seen some tricks and learned a few.
I've earned some dollars and burned a few.
Now I'll walk to my hometown.
I'm hoping that she'll open up her arms to me.
Wolverine, Wolverine,
Sturgeon River keep on running cold and clean.
I just need for your September breeze
to take a hold of me,
and wash away all the bitterness I've seen.
Wash away all the bitterness that I see.
Great Grandpa built his house by hand.
I hope that I'm his type of man.
I won't build my house upon the sand
and then watch the rains come down.
But the firmest piece of ground I know
is just up the road a mile or so.
I've just a while to go,
so I'll walk to my hometown.
I'm hoping that she'll open up her arms to me.
