I recently reconnected with my best childhood friend. As young boys, we spent many happy hours swimming and rafting on Milton Creek in St. Helens, Oregon. This song is dedicated to the adventorous dreamer in all of us, but especially to my friend, Nolan.
Lyrics
We were the huck and tom of milton rode that creek to our dreams
two young boys on the water cobbled raft in the stream
never knew where it'd take us didn't matter noway
huckleberry finn of milton creek yeah we was big dogs in our day
That running water taught us a lot more than we gave
a running stream of conscience growing up every day
we never gave much thought to what ever life had in store
just rode that muddy water to some far distant shore
somehow that running water turns out its something like our dreams
life kept on flowing like a wild running stream
now where that water took us I cant say but I believe
that huck and tom of milton still live inside of me
