Burns ‘n’ Turns Part III: Theme Song ©Jim Steinman, with substitutions by Amanda M. Johnson

(Turned around)
Every now and then I venture into backcountry
when I know I’m not prepared
(Turned around)
Every now and then I don’t try out rental gear
before I hit the trail
(Turned around)
Every now and then I get a little overconfident,
understating nature
(Turned around)
Every now and then I don’t clarify
the meaning of the term “Beginner Friendly”
(Turned around in a white out)
Every now and then I have a fall
(Turned around in a white out)
Every now and then I have a fall

(Turned around)
Every now and then I miss a trail marker
and I think we might be lost
(Turned around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
when I see eleven hours go by
(Turned around)
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
When my fingers freeze and shins bruise
(Turned around)
Every now and then I know things happen for a reason
and that this will build my competence
(Turned around in a white out)
Every now and then I have a fall
(Turned around in a white out)
Every now and then I have a fall

And I’m going to have a cry
when I’m curled up snug in Brew Hut
And if you only hold me tight
we’ll be warm under this fir tree

And I’ll solemnly ponder my plight
And count the things I’ve done wrong:
I should have stuck with people with the GPS,
Brought extra batteries, been self-sufficient

I don’t know what to do; it’s snowing and it’s dark
We’re skiing downhill when we should be hiking up

I need a rescue tonight
The rescue team will come tonight
(The rescue team will come tonight)

Last week I signed up for Burns ‘n’ Turns
But now I’m burned and turned around
These things happen every trip
A total eclipse of Brew Hut
