1. I Was Born in a Blizzard in a Willy's Jeep 
The U.p. Blood in My Veins Runs Deep 
But I Moved Down Here Back in ‘65 
Cause the Mine Closed Down and I Had to Survive 
Working in the City With a Million Lights 
Giving ‘er Tarpaper Day and Night 
The Foreman Says I’m a Working Fool 
Cause I Earn My Pay and Don’t Break no Rules 
Chorus: 
If I Didn’t Need the Work I Wouldn’t Be Here 
I’d Be Back Home On the Last Frontier 
Getting Me Some of That Culture Shock 
Listening to Some Yooper Talk 

2. Cruising in the Chevy Through the Cool Green Pines 
On a Beat Up Highway With Shot Up Signs 
Eating a Pasty Out At Aho’s Camp 
Playing 15-2 By the Kerosene Lamp 
Throwing Some Shoes With the Other Guys 
Shooting the Breeze and Just Swatting Flies 
Getting All Lit Up On That Six Point Beer 
Cruising the Back Roads and Shining Deer 

If I Didn’t Need the Work I Wouldn’t Be Here 
I’d Be Back Home On the Last Frontier 
Getting Me Some of That Culture Shock 
Listening to Some Yooper Talk
