lyrics

Some forty young and old souls are we
we hike the old rails not the roads
we seek our way to a communal inn
there's food, fire, a water spring
if no rooms then we'll pitch our tents

we've been walking several weeks
on the cold, hard scrabbly ground

the big red house is two day's walk from here
we've lost some friends along the way
yet we've seen no vigilantes, no drones
I'm sore and blistered, and our water is low
it's quiet, walking sticks click a beat

if we get there well alive
we might hear our new hosts sing:

"Welcome to the Big Red House!"
"Welcome to the Big Red House!"
"Welcome to the Big Red House!"

they might sing...
