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
