Canadian Star
Same old crazy weather Same old stars in the same old Canada sky tonight Tried to write a letter But I can't get it right, I can't get it right
I was goin' nowhere Just an innocent victim Lookin' for one more crime You rode out of nowhere With your hooks and your lines, your riddles and rhymes
Oh, Northern radio Spin those lies into gold All too soon, I confess Tellin' you yes
I keep thinking of you Don't you ever get tired of Runnin' my friend If I said I love you Well, is that such a sin? I'd say it again...
Where you runnin' now, boy? With your belles and your beaus 'n Hearts that you stole away Sing it for them, cowboy How you just couldn't stay You just couldn't stay Same old crazy weather Same old wondering where in the crazy ol' world you are
Someone tried to catch you You were fallin' too hard, Canadian Star Canadian Star
