Halfway to Hepworth - written September 2020 - on the road from Lion’s Head to Nelson, BC (Hwy 6 & Hwy 17, Hwy 3, Hwy 1). This is a COVID-19-themed love song about braving Highway 6 in a snowstorm to make it to the Northern Bruce Peninsula to find one’s true love. My partner, Trace MacKay, is fond of saying - “wherever you are - you’re exactly halfway to Hepworth.”

Lyrics

Halfway to Hepworth

I’m halfway to Hepworth
This never gets old
I’m masked up, I’m gassed up
And I’ll do what I’m told
But I need a little conversation
Because I feel so alone
I’m halfway to Hepworth
Trying to go home

I made it to Arthur
Where they sold me a suit
I traded a guitar
For a daily commute
& more than hesitation
But now I digress
Arthur, Oh Arthur
It’s all a big mess

Highway Six is closed
Everything is froze
Keep your eyes o the road
And your tongue off the pole

Now I’m in Ferndale
It’s starting to thaw
I still can’t believe
All the things that I saw
In the white out nearly tapped out
It was all I could do
Now I’m in Ferndale
I’m coming home
Coming home to you
