ARTIST'S NOTES:
Jackie is my Troy musical friend's mom. She was a bit skeptical of me -- but loved the way I played her favorite song "Summertime." She had the inside track on huckleberry patches. She is from Kodiak and often misses the sea.

lyrics

Jackie knows the spot
where the huckleberries hide
they stick to her like glue in summertime
she'll hum her favorite song
when the girls are not around
lately its the sea that's on her mind

CHORUS

Two thousand miles down that old marine highway
they ended up somewhere on the high line
She says the tide will soon be turning my way
coz the river's flowing north in my backyard

I stumbled into her early one morning
I hadn't thought of turning on the light
She'll cut you slack, but sometimes, without warning
She'll make you hope you sang her song just right

CHORUS

The say that summertime is almost over
as it slips into that minor key
The berries are all gone, their flavor lingers on
While someone sits just thinking of the sea

CHORUS
two thousand miles up that old marine highway
the mountains shine in everlasting light
the says the tide will soon be turning my way
coz the river's running north in my backyard
