Lyrics
Hatcher?s Pass
Written by Rob Allison
Down through Hatcher?s Pass?with the cool wind in my face
Just ridin? a trail to another place
Snow here in the moutians?comes round this time of year
Just ridin? along with nothing to fear
Chorus
Well the sun?s burnin? down
There ain?t no one around
Well I?m feelin? so free?wouldn?t ya like to be me
I feel so free
There?s an old abandoned gold mine
With riches of the past?or so it?s told of Hatcher?s Pass
Folks down by the river?pannin? for some gold
Siftin? throught that river dirt for garnets and gold
Chorus
Well the sun?s burnin? down
There ain?t no one around
Well I?m feelin? so free?wouldn?t ya like to be me
I feel so free
Down through Hatcher?s Pass
There ain?t no one around
Just my horse and me?and the love we found.
Ridin? the trail through this wide open space
Take a look around?it?s like no other place
Chorus
Well the sun?s burnin? down
There ain?t no one around
Well I?m feelin? so free?wouldn?t ya like to be me
I feel so free
(Instrumental)
Well the days have gone by so fast
I knew it couldn?t last
Just my horse and me?and the memories?. Hatcher?s Pass
