We bought a tent and some sleeping bags
And we jumped in the truck
North bound on I-35
Before the sun came up

We stopped for lunch in Kanow Park
Passing through the Louvre
Rolled into Bayfield, Wisconsin
And there she was
Madeline Island

We left our cares on the mainland
Boarded a ferry boat
We saw La Pointe for the first time
And we felt right at home

Drove out to Big Bay State Park
Picked out our campsite
We settled in underneath the stars
And there we were

Out there in the great Lake Superior
Right across the bay
We sat back, put our feet up and there we were
Half a world away

Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves
With every passing day
It was all a blur, but there we were
On Madeline Island
Madeline Island

We left our shadows on the lake shore
We soaked up all the sights
About drowned in a downpour
But for the northern lights

We shot the breeze under pine trees
And sat around the fire
We hit the hay beneath the Milky Way
And there we were

Out there in the great Lake Superior
Right across the bay
We sat back, put our feet up and there we were
Half a world away

Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves
With every passing day
It was all a blur, but there we were
On Madeline Island

Out there in the great Lake Superior
Right across the bay
We sat back, put our feet up and there we were
Half a world away

Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves
With every passing day
It was all a blur, but there we were
On Madeline Island
Madeline Island
There we were on Madeline Island

We made a memory
That will always last
But we went on that trip
Just the three and back
