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 kanow park

Passing through the louvre

Rolled into bayfield, wisconsin

And there she was

Madeline island.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(We made a memory

That will always last

But we went on that trip

Just the three and back)
