Travelin across this country, I ain't ever turnin back
different towns, different folks, keeps my sanity intact
lakes, prairies, mountains, I ain't never gonnba stop
cuz at home that PTD hits me.. like a friggin rock
I'll never understand those content with sitting still
my feet get so itchy I gotta go and get my thrills
livin at Fattal I can never be bored
but as soon as summer comes my home.. is back on the road
well now I'm back home and my feet they itch again
winter time is cold but at least I got my frinds
Montreal's my home, my home it will stay
but when the weather warms I just gotta.. get away

I hitch hiked through North Ontario
Dropped off in Wawa, they went to Chapleau
Hitch hike out, I tried my best
but now it's in Wawa where my wary head rests
I went out and found me a job
startin servin beers down at Woody's Pub
this girl walked in, my jaw did drop
my eyes got wide, my heart near stopped
I went on down to the Sault
tryin' to find fun things to do
she walked in, her eyes did shine
we talked, played music, and drank all the wine
I finally found my wild goose
her lips, her hair, her nice caboose
with her I know we'll always win
Happy life together, with a bit of sin
I was in Wawa where the geese run wild
that's where I saw her pretty smile
she blew me a kiss in Sault St. Marie
but it was in Wawa where she married me

She sets the world on fire everywhere she goes
she's got her dancin attire and buddy how she glows
her feet never seem to tire while dancin out at shows
I don't know what will transpire when she finally knows
She's a red hot fire angel
dancin through the night
she's a red hot fire angel
she's got me with her might
she's a red hot fire angel
I wanna hold her tight
she's a red hot fire angel
she makes my heart ignite
She sets the world on fire everywhere she goes

The fog followed us from Wawa to the Sault
From Wawa to the Sault
From Wawa to the Sault
That fog followed us from Wawa to the Sault
That's when I knew I would loose you
I'm drivin down that road there ain't nothin I can do
There ain't nothin I can do
There ain't nothin I can do
I'm drivin down that road there ain't nothin I can do
to take that blue away from you
I drove all night till my eyes got fuzzy
my eyes got fuzzy
my eyes got fuzzy
I drove all night till my eyes got fuzzy
continued our journey past Sudbury
I'm drivin down that road there ain't nothin I can do
There ain't nothin I can do
There ain't nothin I can do
I'm drivin down that road there ain't nothin I can do
to take that blue away from you
3 more hours till we rolled into Toronto
rolled into Toronto
rolled into Toronto
3 more hours till we rolled into Toronto
two days later I was sad to see you go
I'm drivin down that road there ain't nothin I can do
There ain't nothin I can do
There ain't nothin I can do
I'm drivin down that road there ain't nothin I can do
to take that blue away from you

I left on a sunny Sunday afternoon
headed west outta Montreal
I was told to go
see this nice little road
just 15 clicks past Cornwall
Now I can tell you their is many a nice view
when yer head down that short Long Sault
on a bright sunny day, I'll drive down that Parkway
but I wish I was travelin' it with you
I stayed in Toronto for about a week
then drove all night to Sault St. Marie
where this truck pulled up
with a shaggy ol' pup
but most things just aren't meant to be
Now I can tell you their is many a nice view
when yer headed towards the Sault
on a bright sunny day
I'll drive all the way to Thunder Bay
but I wish I was travelin' it with you
I traveled on North-West, see the things I hadn't seen
my eyes were set on the Yukon
Whitehorse was a blast
but Dawson's where it's at
and at Keno Fest I had all the fun
Now I can tell you their is many a nice view
when the Yukon is where yer to
on a bright sunny day
I'll drop up Dempsters Highway
but I wish I was travelin' it with you
Now I can tell you their is many a nice view
when the Yukon is where yer to
on a bright sunny day
I'll drive to the Top Of The World Highway
but I wish I was on top of it with you
though I ain't gonna be travelin' it with you

can't you see that little red tree
hiding in the greens on the mountain side
it must be so very lonely
being the only red tree in the rocky's hide
he said with a plea "don't look at me
don't look at me" is what he cried
wish I could see another red tree
that's just like me on this mountain side
I said see yer a speacialty
the only red tree on this mountain side
he looked to see I was much like he
another red tree just trying to hide
I said look closely you will see
another red tree on this rocky hide
he said with glee I'm so happy
another red tree in this mountain side

I'm dirty old pants
yeah dirty old pants
you don't wanna dance with me
I need a washer and a dryer
or just set me on fire
I'm worn down and so weary
you said that you love me
and that it was easy
I don't really understand why
I know that I'm dirty
ugly and greasy
so just hang me up and leave me out to dry
I'm a stained old shirt
yeah a stained old shirt
I know it hurts when you wear me
I need a washer and a dryer
or just set me on fire
I'm worn down and so weary
You said that you love me
it'd be hard to leave me
I don't really understand why
I know that I'm dirty
ugly and greasy
so just hang me up and leave me out to dry
I'm crusty old socks
yeah crusty old socks
more crusty then any punk could be
I need a washer and a dryer
or just set me on fire
I'm worn down and so weary
you said that you loved me
and that it was easy
I know now that's just a lie
I know that I'm dirty
ugly and greasy
so just hang me up and leave me out to dry

I sit so desperately, hopin someone will visit me
but it seems they've all got better places to be
so I drink my beer and dust my lungs, with my door wide open
but no ones comin through, and feel that door a closin
so love the ones that you've got
cuz you'll never know just when
they're gonna walk away, leave you behind
no one stays with you till the end of time anyhow
in the end you'll be left all alone..
left alone to wonder all the things you may have done wrong
why couldn't you just get it right, and write that perfect song
I keep drinkin beer, and goin down, my door still wide open
but no ones comin through, and feel that door a closin
so love the ones that you've got
cuz you'll never know just when
they're gonna walk away, leave you behind
no one stays with you till the end of time anyhow
in the end you'll be left all alone..

I'm goin away
I'm goin away
wont be back again till a distant day
yeah I'm goin away...
I just can't stay
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
though everything seems wrong I gotta stay strong
I'm moving on...
wont take long
there's so much to see
so much to see
there's something waiting somewhere out there just for me
then you'll see...
all I can be
I know that I'm worth it
I know that I'm worth it
though I make mistakes, and I know I ain't perfect
I'm still worth it...
and I'm gonna make it

There is a place up on a mountain
where Storm and I will go someday that much is certain
it is a place, careless and free
as for our lost friends, well that's where they'll be
There is a place with beautiful rivers
and nice warm winds wont give you the shivers
the gardens are lush, the trees are filled with fruit
no one goes hungry for there's plenty of food
There is a cliff on the far side of the mountain
with a breath taking view of the surrounding
staring off into the distance
you can see old souls coming into new existance
You'll never be lonely, for all dogs come here
if you get thirsty there is coffee and beer
it is a place, careless and free
as for our lost friends, well that's where they'll be
There is a place where once more we cross paths
tell each other stories from moments in the past
it's up on a mountain as beautiful as can be
at the end of your road that's where you'll find Storm and me

I never thought it would happen to you
still to this day I wish it wasn't true
I hear yer voice singing, I know yer travelin hard
strummin on the minor chords of all our hearts
and we'll sing (and we'll sing)
and we'll dance (and we'll dance)
do it in memory of those who no longer get the chance
and we'll laugh (and we'll laugh)
and we'll smile (and we'll smile)
just know I love you all and I wanna stay here for awhile
and we'll never (and we'll never)
give up (give up)
we've all got each other and we're all hard as fuck
and we'll kiss (and we'll kiss)
and we'll love (and we'll love)
till it's time to join our friends on the mountain up above
on the mountain up above
I know it looks like a long way to the top
but believe me, it's easy to pull out all the stops
and when yer gone what are the rest of us to do?
gather together and mourn our loss of you
and we'll sing (and we'll sing)
and we'll dance (and we'll dance)
do it in memory of those who no longer get the chance
and we'll laugh (and we'll laugh)

Life is for the living and I'm grateful to be alive
though I'll miss all those who have passed on from my life
and I wish that I could see them when it's my time to die
but I made it all up, that mountain's a fuckin a lie
still we'll sing (and we'll sing)
and we'll dance (and we'll dance)
do it in memory of those who no longer get the chance
and we'll laugh (and we'll laugh)
and we'll smile (and we'll smile)

I've been to the top of the Dome
I've been to the top of Signal Hill
Ive seen them Northern Lights dance
to a fiddle players will
and I've busked them Rocky Mountain tops
c'est la ou jai faire une mille
I thought I had lost my Storm
but he's here with me still
here with me still
and I spent time on my buds sail boat
but there's so much more to see
like PEI, Isle de Magdeline
and the North-West Territory
and I can't wait to hit them old dirt roads
go out and explore the rest
travelin with my best friend Storm
I know we chose the life that's best
the life that's best
