Cascade Lyrics by Richmond Fontaine
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
He inherited $1400 from his mother who lived in a house
In a town, in the Cascades
He hadn't seen her in 5 years
His step-brother drove him up there along with his
Step-brother's friend who he didn't know
To get the money, and some of her things,
To see where she had lived, maybe who she was
By seeing who she was with at the time

Oh the Cascades
The Cascades
Where the rivers are like moving lakes
Oh the Cascades
Where it's dark and wet and
You can disappear without a trace

On the way back he bought his girlfriend a camera
He bought his Dad a knife,
Them dinner and a case of beer
In the back he waited in the car while they say for hours in a bar
Because he was underage
Then in the mountains they pulled off on a forest service road
And they dragged him from the car
They all the money, his ID bracelet, and all of her things
And left him there with $1400

Oh the Cascades
Where the rivers are like moving lakes
Where it's always dark and wet with rain
And you can disappear without a trace
He inherited $1400 from his mother who lived in a house   In a town, in the Cascades   He hadn't seen her in 5 years   His step-brother drove him up there along with his   Step-brother's friend who he didn't know   To get the money, and some of her things,   To see where she had lived, maybe who she was   By seeing who she was with at the time      Oh the Cascades   The Cascades   Where the rivers are like moving lakes   Oh the Cascades   Where it's dark and wet and   You can disappear without a trace      On the way back he bought his girlfriend a camera   He bought his Dad a knife,   Them dinner and a case of beer   In the back he waited in the car while they say for hours in a bar   Because he was underage   Then in the mountains they pulled off on a forest service road   And they dragged him from the car   They all the money, his ID bracelet, and all of her things   And left him there with $1400      Oh the Cascades   Where the rivers are like moving lakes   Where it's always dark and wet with rain   And you can disappear without a trace
