Lyrics:
I love the feeling of the highway, and the rumble and the kick beneath my toes.
The freedom of the asphalt, the smell of it still lingers on my clothes.
Double lines like dominoes, fall against each other on the open road.
I won’t forget you when you’re next to me. I’ll sound the horn to keep you awake.

Sweet Niobrara, in the morning I will leave for Valentine.
Highway 12, is a fine stretch of country, to clear a foggy mind.
Niobrara, I am leaving you behind.

Stopping for a miller, dirty glasses from the farmers' muddy hands.
They’re cracking jokes across the bar, a day of working on their precious land.
Near the end of harvest, the clouds, they roam like buffalo in the sky.
A simple way of living, can sharpen up the dullest of knives.

Sweet Niobrara, in the morning I will leave for Valentine.
Highway 12, is a fine stretch of country, to clear a foggy mind.
Niobrara, I am leaving you behind.

Sweet Niobrara, in the morning I will leave for Valentine.
Highway 12, is a fine stretch of country, to clear a foggy mind.
Niobrara, I am leaving you.
Niobrara, I am leaving you.
Niobrara, I am leaving you behind.

About The Wildwoods:
"Every note we play is a chapter in our story, a journey through the heart of American roots music. We're The Wildwoods, where each lyric is a leaf in the vast forest of our sound."

In the heart of Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods emerge as a folk/Americana trio, a musical tapestry woven by the husband-and-wife duo, Noah (guitar) and Chloe Gose (violin), alongside bassist Andrew Vaggalis. Their story is a symphony of exploration and connection, a journey that has taken them from the Midwest to international stages, carving out a unique place in the folk landscape. Their presence has graced stages alongside artists such as Mighty Poplar, Sierra Ferrell, Aiofe O’ Donovan, Melissa Carper, Jamie Wyatt and Joe Nichols at concerts and festivals like Summerfest, FreshGrass and the Oyster Ridge Music Festival.

The Wildwoods have become a force in the folk scene, boasting accolades like being finalists at the FreshGrass Music Festival Band competition and Gems on VHS "Gems in the Rough" competition in 2023. Their songwriting prowess is underscored by semi-final placements in the International Songwriting competition, with tracks like "Untitled" and "Way of Train." Recognized consistently at the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards, they were crowned "Best Band" by the Lincoln Journal Star’s Lincoln Choice Awards in 2022.

Their sonic journey unfolds through albums like the debut "Sweet Nostalgia" (2017), followed by "Birdie & Goose" (2017), "Across A Midwest Sky" (2019), and their latest masterpiece, "Foxfield Saint John" (2023). The band's evolution is evident in each track, a testament to their commitment to pushing musical boundaries.

United by a passion for folk/Americana, the trio’s influences range from Watchhouse and Nickel Creek, to Gillian Welch & David Rawlings. Their music, though comfortably under the folk/Americana umbrella, weaves intricate chord structures and emotional textures that defy genre boundaries. Together, their harmonies resonate with artful sincerity, drawing inspiration from nature, their shared experiences of growing up in Nebraska, and life on the road.
