Canadian Dirt

We learn to crawl and walk and play ball on it

We skin our knees, plant seeds and grow crops on it

We wash it off at the end of a hard day's work

We lay stones, build our homes and break bones on it

Wear honest holes in our old blue jeans on it

Our trucks run better with a fresh coat of back road dust from Canadian dirt

It's highways and cities and water tower towns, it's

Cowboys and hippies and whiskey rounds

Jesus and mama, tattoos and home T-shirts

And it's Mustangs and tractors, rusty barbed wire, it's

Guitars and cold beers and back forty fires

Give all you've got to it, some gave all for it

Canadian dirt

We learn to drive, rope and ride and love life on it

We say "I do" and honeymoon our new bride on it

Live every day and raise our babies on Canadian dirt

It's highways and cities and water tower towns, it's

Cowboys and hippies and whiskey rounds

Jesus and mama, tattoos and home T-shirts, ah yeah (Oh yeah)

And it's Mustangs and tractors, rusty barbed wire, it's

Guitars and cold beers and back forty fires

Give all you've got to it, some gave all for it

Canadian dirt

And it's Mustangs and tractors, rusty barbed wire, it's

Guitars and cold beers and back forty fires

Give all you've got going, some gave all for it

Canadian dirt

And our roots run deep on our family trees

Planted in Canadian dirt
