Ponderosa - Heather lyrics

I recall a time when I was young and those girls blew my mind I can recollect a summer set in those northwestern pines She appeared to me essentially how we both settled down How it makes her cry but I'm alive when the whiskey's around Oh heather, sweet heather Oh how I'll never be quite the same How I never eat I never see the sun drift out of sight If you could forget that I'm a wreck when I'm out on that line Oh heather, sweet heather Oh how I'll never be quite the same
