Up Around the Bend (Creedence Clearwater)

There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' just as fast as my feet can fly.
Come away, come away if you're goin', leave the sinkin' ship behind.
C'mon the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.

Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the gettin's good.
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood.
C'mon the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.

You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind for a crystal day.
Always time for a good conversation, there's an ear for what you say.
C'mon the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.

Catch a ride to the end of the highway and we'll meet by the big red tree.
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin', come along, come along with me.
C'mon the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.


I am always amazed at how it seems to describe my hikes.
Ken

> I went out hiking yesterday, and as I was walking along, I started
humming, and then singing a song.  After a few times through, I started to
reflect.  If I remember correctly, I sing this song every time I go out
hiking.  Some time during my hike, long or short, I sing this song.  So here
is my question:  Do you have a "hiking song" and what is it?

> Mine song is from the movie Tarzan, and is called 'Go the Distance' :
> I will find my way, I can go the distance.  I'll be there someday, if I
can be strong.  I know every mile, will be worth my while.  I would go most
anywhere to feel like I belong.
