(Intro)

Sophie’s driving in her car

at ten she’ll be at home

through the window you can see

her frown while leavin‘ town
She knows that she’s just tired of

the daily grind to find

a little bit variety

in her fucked up life

 

Cause Sophie’s fed up with her job

those lamers all around

she’s drawn into the wilderness

to flee from the crowd

So one morning Sophie grabbed

her shoes and bag and clothes

together with her two best friends

they northwards sallied forth

Arrived at their launching pier

she can’t believe her eyes

between the pinewood coated cliffs

the canoe anchored lies

 

Chorus

Uuuuuh pack your bag and go away

Uuuuuh take your friends if they won’t stay

set your feet outside the door

go until you reach the shore

of the northern lakes you will adore

‘cause this is what Sophie did before

 

Uuuuuh  uuuuuuuh

Uuuuuh  uuuuhaaaaaaah

 

Bridge

Don’t think about, just do

If your dreams should come true

While sittin‘ there in your canoe

Your arms will row you through the streams

So you can sweat your troubles out

Until you have to go back to the crowd

 

 

And when you’re there and back again

You’re charged and ready to sustain

But trouble’s unavoidable

So recollect what Sophie simply did.

 

Chorus

Uuuuuh pack your bag and go away

Uuuuuh take your friends if they won’t stay

set your feet outside the door

go until you reach the shore

of the northern lakes you will adore

cause this is what Sophie did before
