Canadian Heart

i drove across canada
through regina and moose jaw
from vancouver to winnipeg
that's a place that i could live
but kept on driving instead

i have been thinking
of your old times
the photos in my mind
of you standing on the hill
oh canada

played a show in halifax
my guitar was a battle axe
swung it all around my head
woke up in some hotel bed
hung over and happy to be alive

i have been thinking
of your old times
the photos in my mind
of you standing on the hill
oh canada

watched the salmon swimming up the stream
returning to their only dream
oh i love you all just the same
i've got that blood running in my veins
and living in my heart

i have been thinking
of your old times
the photos in my mind
of you standing on the hill
oh canada
