Well the weekends finally here St. Croix River, here I come Time for me to disappear, Head into that sky-blue-water sun Im going up north Ten thousand lakes say jump in Those blue-eyed girls know something So you better be listening Get on board Gather up all of your friends This is where the blacktop ends This is where the fun begins You are entering This is where the old man Mississippi Starts to rip and make his run And when you see those northern lights, hold on tight Because the ride has just begun Were going up north Ten thousand lakes say jump in Those blue-eyed girls know something So you better start listening So get on board Gather up all of your friends This is where the fun begins You are entering Up here we need to learn to sing A song for every season Winter has a reason Otherwise thered be no spring When summer comes we soak it in And play our way through autumn Raise your glasses if you got em And lets toast the whole damn thing Put the city in the rear view Forget your 9-to-5 Youre about to see North Country come alive Up here we need to learn to sing A song for every season Winter has a reason Otherwise there'd be no spring When summer comes We get wild and free There ain't a better place to be So raise your hands and sing with me We're all going up to the North Country
