Empty sidewalks, bare trees
Waves crash in from a wind-tossed sea
This is the way I like it best

No traffic jams, no hustling crowds
No rude awakenings from trees comin’ down
This is the way I like it best

I live where the forest meets the sea
And I believe there’s No Place Else for me

Cold blue morning, a doe with her fawn
A wild kingdom without guns
This is the way I like it best

No skyscrapers or dirty air
Just a few tourists gettin’ in my hair
This is the way I like it best

I live where the forest meets the sea
And I believe there’s No Place Else for me

Streams full of fish and forests lush
Elk eatin’ flowers from my favorite bush
This is the way I like it best

The crash of thunder, lightning’s glow
The still night air before a big blow
This is the way I like it best

I live where the forest meets the sea
And I believe there’s No Place Else for me
