Lyrics
St. Helen's ash is evergreen
Forever rainin' in my dreams
I don't need a picture
To remember Tilton River
Rollin' back behind our house
Of all the byways I've been down
Highway 508 knows me the best
The compass in my heart still points northwest

Where the trees grow mountain tall
Most of the summer feels like fall
Salmon run and the eagles fly
You're in heaven but you didn't die
Whistle blowin' at the mill
Hickory shirts'll pay the bills
I dream in shades of green and gray and gold
And I go home

To Lewis County loggin' show
White pass covered up in snow
Make it back for Christmas
God knows how bad I miss it
Lookin' through a bus window
On the road again, you know
That song that's in my soul is why I left
But my heart still points northwest

Where the trees grow mountain tall
Most of the summer feels like fall
Salmon run and the eagles fly
You're in heaven but you didn't die
Whistle blowin' at the mill
Hickory shirts'll pay the bills
I dream in shades of green and grey and gold
And I go home

I go home
Pacific coast, cottonwood smoke
It's in my bones
Oh, take me home

Where the trees grow mountain tall
Most of the summer feels like fall
Salmon run and the eagles fly
You're in heaven but you didn't die
Through the clouds, I see the sun
Shinin' down where I come from
I dream in shades of green and grey and gold
And I go home
Take me home
Yeah, I go home

Cottonwood smoke
Takes me home
In my bones
