verse 1 We bought a tent and some sleeping bags And we jumped in the truck North bound on I-35 Before the sun came up We stopped for lunch in Canal Park Passing through Duluth Rolled into Bayfield, Wisconsin And there she was Madeline Island verse 2 We left our cares on the mainland Boarded a ferry boat We saw La Pointe for the first time And we felt right at home Drove out to Big Bay State Park Picked out our campsite We settled in underneath the stars And there we were Chorus Out there in the great Lake Superior Right across the bay We sat back, put our feet up and there we were Half a world away Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves With every passing day It was all a blur, but there we were On Madeline Island Madeline Island verse 3 We left our shadows on the lake shore We soaked up all the sights About drowned in a downpour But for the northern lights We shot the breeze under pine trees And sat around the fire We hit the hay beneath the Milky Way And there we were Chorus Out there in the great Lake Superior Right across the bay We sat back, put our feet up and there we were Half a world away Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves With every passing day It was all a blur, but there we were On Madeline Island Solo Chorus Out there in the great Lake Superior Right across the bay We sat back, put our feet up and there we were Half a world away Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves With every passing day It was all a blur, but there we were On Madeline Island Madeline Island There we were on Madeline Island Outro We made a memory That will always last But we went on that trip Just the three and Max
