Lyrics
7. GRAND LAKE TUESDAY NIGHT
From tattered tractor seats and old pickup trucks,
Take a Grand Lake break, food and music; hey, what’s up?
Farm-fresh libations, refried beans, taco wings;
It’s the bluegrass disorientation fling.
Chorus:
Grand Lake Tuesday night, we’ve come this way before;
The Never Summer Range, elk, & wonders galore.
With my early-morning flannel and a laid-back grin,
Rocky Mountain glory, come on in.
I’ll be coming into Grand Lake, Tuesday night,
I long to see you before morning light.
Hug the moonlit lake in your bluegrass music heart,
Let’s make a memory before we have to part.
(Chorus)
An antler-toting elk came a-walking through my camp.
Looked in my window, damp with dew on his ramp.
I said, hey there, elk; move your rack on up the line,
Here in Grand Lake, a mighty fine time.
(Chorus)
