The Opening Act

Thunder Bay must have been a big mess

Night bus to Regina, I'm not at my best

I'm trying to play straight but I come undone

No, I can't connect, I'm missing the mark

Second night of the tour and I'm having second thoughts

On this road headed west

Winnipeg on a Friday night, well it's cold to the bone so I'm gonna get high

I'm starting to remember the words and the reason why

Saskatoon is colder yet but I'm finally getting into the set

I know this is what I do but sometimes I forget

And the opening act was a nice surprise

I couldn't get her name straight maybe I'm too high

Many a mile to nowhere doing the same old thing

So I'll sing my song and see what tomorrow brings

In Calgary I broke a spoke, I'm forgetting all the words, trying to make it a joke

Feeling kind of low but you make it work

Edmonton's a beautiful drive

See the Northern Lights, pull over for a while

Oh, the silence is nice

Then it's over the mountains to the rainy city

The Orpheum is oh, so pretty

Always a party in Vancouver town

But I'm up at dawn to get the first ferry

Sleeping on the bus, feeling weary

Yeah, I'm starting to rust

And the opening act was a nice surprise

I couldn't get her name straight maybe I'm too high

Many a mile to nowhere doing the same old thing

So I'll sing my song and see what tomorrow brings

Victoria airport on three hours sleep

I'm standing in line, asleep on my feet

And I bounce in my seat all the way to YVR

And when I get home I should be tired

But my body's burnt and my brain is wired

And I sing this song all night long

And the opening act was a nice surprise

I couldn't get her name straight, maybe I'm too high

Many a mile to nowhere doing the same old thing

So I'll sing my song and see

Yeah, I'll sing my song and see

Yeah, I'll sing my song and see what tomorrow brings
