'Virgin North' is a rockabilly ballad about two young men finding peace of mind by wandering the wilderness along our northern border. This song was co-written by Noah Ryan.

LYRICS:
I get this feelin' 'round every year or so
Got an itch and I just have to go
And live like men what lived before
With an axe and a horse an not much more

Well I ain't got no horse but I got this six-string
And I reckon for me that's all I need to bring
Travel and write about what I become
And I might have me a song when I'm done

Lookin' for virgin lands and untouched pines
White water where the fishin's fine
Virgin land surrounded by pines
A place where I can rest my mind

Just two young drifters from the dairyland
We had us a vessel made by hand
Imbued with a wild and primitive soul
She'd get us anywhere we wanted to go

Followed the call of the wild north
The wood and the land and all its force
Awakened the warrior spirit within
The hunter the trapper and all his friends

Lookin' for virgin lands and untouched pines
White water where the fishin's fine
Virgin land surrounded by pines
A place where I can rest my mind

I looked on the map and saw borders and lines
But when I looked up I saw nothin' but pines
Dewy air and a little chill
And water as clear as'd been run off a still

We found us a place untouched by man
A place where the lakes and marshes span
Flowin' in the breeze like a cottonwood seed
A place where the untamed spirit's freed

Lookin' for virgin lands and untouched pines
White water where the fishin's fine
Virgin land surrounded by pines
A place where I can rest my mind
