Lyrics
Tacoma
Done with Tacoma, done with that fight
I skipped town late one night
My dog, my Chevy, my guitar too
Crossed the border at Osoyoos
I'm heading east to make my stand
Remembered everybody's someone in Newfoundland
The West is sweet, Rockies tough to beat
But I reckon I'm Ontario bound
Just one key on my key chain
Feeling that good kind of scared again
City lights, the Prairies’ vast expanse
Lake water’s cold this time of year
Hit Espanola, I was in the clear
Then I almost lost my ride due to parking in gear
Left Tobermory late that night
Chi-Cheemaun will get me there before day light
And if you’re nice to me I’ll tell you where I’m from
Though I don’t really care to which beat you drum
I was feeling Best in Show
Yet the needle was drifting rather low
Just one key on my key chain
Feeling that good kind of fear again
Oh those city lights, the Prairies’ vast expanse
Lake water’s cold this time of year
Done with Tacoma, done with that fight
I skipped town late one night
My dog, my Lada, my guitar too
Crossed the border at Osoyoos
