There's a lake up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin
I've heard stories of adventures up there
And there's a family that never quite stops talking
Who spends their summers in a house that they all share
And it smells like campfire mixed up with sunscreen
And it sounds like the best time you've ever had
They say those trees are the prettiest ones you'll ever see
They say when you're up there you'll never be sad
By that lake up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin
The kids grew up with their toes in that sand
They'd play card games and study some Latin
They'd sing along to musicals hand in hand
And no one noticed how much time was passing
Because when you're up there they say time stands still
I guess it's true the world can't give you much harassing
When you're nestled in that house up on that hill
Legend Lake
I love my new summer home,
And my grandchildren certainly seem to love it too!
There won't be any fish left in this lake when these
Guys are through. They'll all have laughed themself to death
Here's the truth about that lake up in Wisconsin
It's had to let a lot of people move on
And while it's not the same, I'm sure they're still listening
When we share memories of those who have gone
Yeah, they scolded us for not wearing sunscreen
But it's still the best time we've ever had
And those trees are still the prettiest ones I've ever seen
It's still the greatest place even when you're sad
It's just a legendary lake up in Wisconsin
So no matter how far we all roam
It's a place I know will never be forgotten
Cuz it's a place we all always call home
