Thru-Hiker Paradise (Big Rock Snickers Mountains)

The best damn backpacker song ever written...to the tune of the best damn hobo song ever written.

INTRO
One evening as the sun went down On my backpacking trip,
Along came an old thru hiker, he said,” I've had it I’m gonna flip”
I know a place that's far away Beside the crystal-light fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see The Big Rock Snickers Mountains
VERSE
In the Big Rock Snickers Mountains, Theres no reroutes around frogs
The water cache is always full and your filter never clogs
when you get to a stream crossing Someone’s always left a log
CHORUS
Oh I want to go Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall And The wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Snickers Mountains

In the Big Rock Snickers Mountains There’s trail magic everyday
On a side trip to a scenic view The trails downhill both ways
Your Campsites always level And you Never wake up cold
<CHORUS>
In the Big Rock Snickers Mountains your new shoes grow on trees
the mosquitos always hibernate And you can mind control the bees
the snakes are on vacation and the mice have rubber teeth
<CHORUS>
In the Big Rock Snickers Mountains You don’t have to wash your socks
And little streams of coffee Come trickling down the rocks
There ain’t no forest fires Theres no Sunburn chafe or Blisters.
<CHORUS>
In the Big Rock Snickers Mountains you’ve really got it made
If you zero at a hotel, your bill’s already paid
When you stay at a hostel it’s real easy to get laid
<CHORUS>
OUTRO
I'll see you all this coming Fall
In the Big Rock Snickers Mountains"
