Roosevelt on Mount Marcy
The Vice President was hiking off the grid in New York state
A park ranger running towards him waving a yellow slip
and I bet Teddy knew what that means
I bet he knew that maybe it was time to head back down

In a spare room at the Wilcox House, a crowd among the book-lined shelves,
All eyes on Roosevelt:
