Lyrics

I don’t wanna stop in Manitoba
‘Cause I don’t wanna step outside
Don’t wanna plant my feet down in you’re hometown ground
Just wanna ride through in my ride
I’m as fragile as a flower
In this prairie province of yours
So I’ll pluck myself up ‘cause I don’t wanna get stuck
To weather another storm
Last time I did stand on this flattened land
We were standing hand-in-hand
On busy city roads and vegetable rows
And we spoke of partnered plans
I still believe in the dreams that we had schemed
I’m still holding tight to you
I never wanted to move on
Which is why I gotta’ move on through
I don’t wanna stop in Manitoba
‘Cause I don’t wanna step outside
Don’t wanna plant my feet down in you’re hometown ground
Just wanna ride through in my ride
I’m as fragile as a flower
In this prairie province of yours
So I’ll pluck myself up ‘cause I don’t wanna get stuck
To weather another storm
Off on another freeway
Your legend’s left unclear
But your memory’s strong and it lingers on
My map of yesteryear
I’m a sucker for nostalgia
A romantic memory hoarder
I’m driving and crying and biding my time
’Til I reach the Ontarian border
I don’t wanna stop in Manitoba
‘Cause I don’t wanna step outside
Don’t wanna plant my feet down in you’re hometown ground
Just wanna ride through in my ride
I’m as fragile as a flower
In this prairie province of yours
So I’ll pluck myself up ‘cause I don’t wanna get stuck
To weather another storm
My engine’s overheating
My gas is getting low
I’ll push this brave old Wagoneer
As far as it’ll go
I don’t wanna stop in Manitoba
‘Cause I don’t wanna step outside
Don’t wanna plant my feet down in you’re hometown ground
Just wanna ride through in my ride
I’m as fragile as a flower
In this prairie province of yours
So I’ll pluck myself up ‘cause I don’t wanna get stuck
To weather another storm
I don’t wanna stop in Manitoba
‘Cause to me
It’ll always be
Yours
