Built me a cabin
Way past the last road sign
Chopped my own morning
Out of that frozen pine
Kerosene coffee
Boiling on a one-ring flame
If the mailman ever finds me
He’s gonna forget my name

[Chorus]
I’m off the grid, but not alone up here
Bigfoot’s borrowing sugar and beer
He’s got my tools, my tarp, my lawn chair too
I’m off the grid
But he’s on my fuse
Yeah, Bigfoot lives next door
With a better view

[Verse 2]
Snow to the window
Ice in my Sunday stew
Banjo by the woodstove
Playing to a caribou
[call-and-response brass riff]
He taps on the back wall
Size twenty-seven clumsy knock
Says, “Buddy, your satellite’s blinking
Can I steal some of that talk?”

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
He’s got a compost heap for a mattress
Solar panels nailed to a spruce
Wears flannel made of moss and sadness
Smells like coffee, smoke, and juice
[fiddle and accordion duet]
He’s trading footprints
For firewood and beans
Leaves me thank-you notes in birch bark
Spelled in evergreens (oh yeah)
