Backstory:

The song was written about a real person that when into the wood of Maine for over 25 years.                                                                                        

Lyrics:

                                                  
THE NORTH POND HERMIT

He went into the woods
In nineteen eighty-seven
Stayed there all by himself
To me that sounds like Heaven
He didn't have an alarm clock
Waking him up each day
Never had a job
Or a stack of bills to pay

He's the North Pond Hermit
He's never shoveled snow
The North Pond Hermit
Never had a lawn to mow
He's the North Pond Hermit
Wish my life was like his
He didn’t just survive
He knew how to live

He never got divorced
Never had a broken heart
Never waited in line
Shopping at a Walmart
He didn’t deal with traffic
Just tryin' to get back it home
Or distracted drivers
Talking on cell phones

He's the North Pond Hermit
He's never shoveled snow
The North Pond Hermit
Never had a lawn to mow
He's the North Pond Hermit
Wish my life was like his
He didn’t just survive
He knew how to live

(Repeat Chorus)

No he didn’t just survive
He knew how to live
