Lyrics
In The Clear
I think that my thinking, has got the best of me
Thinking what I want, versus what I need
Sometimes I'm amazed, by those I'll serve
To serve myself, to prove my worth
My grandad had a filling station up Port Severn way
And my brother worked the Filling Station as a barman back in our Toronto daze
Canoe Lake work was fun, I could have filled another day
There's what you got, and there's those things that you hear
We're all just trying to stay in the clear
It's hard to believe, the northern lights
Fundy's bay, and this cross-eyed heart of mine
I think that its time, not to walk the line
Oh I think that its time...I think that its time
I've got five months more then I'm heading for my new recommencement
Rig work dries up 'bout that time of year
CNQ pays well but I can barely stand another day
There's what you want, and those norms to which you adhere
Just for once I want to be out in the clear
