Lyrics

SASKATOON
Prairie skies and hearts made of fire
Burning down the endless road
She was born with the stars in her eyes
And she takes them wherever she goes
Spent her whole life with arms open wide
Trying to catch the gypsy moon
Now she’s waving goodbye to Saskatoon
Highway sixteen and childhood dreams
Of the wild flours whipping by
She was gunning for a taste of that big city scene
You could see the lights shining in her eyes
Her friends back home all said she shouldn’t go
But that they'd come visit her soon
They’d make the trip West out of Saskatoon
No matter how far we run
Or whatever our hearts have done
Home will be home
Whatever we become
No matter how far we run
California nights
Sunset strip lights
And the pre disposition to roam
She’d dreamed of this place for years of her life
But in those dreams she wasn’t stuck here alone
A world away from the faces that stay
Framed and hung all over her room
They all think of her back in Saskatoon
No matter how far we run
Or whatever our hearts have done
Home will be home
Whatever we become
No matter how far we run
From the moment I saw her
In some West side bar
In the city where you have to look down to see the stars
I could tell right there she was caving in
Cause I’d been there before and I’d felt the same thing
Like you’re searching for love that don’t want to be found
Like your driving a dream right back into the ground
Like the whole city’s crowded but you feel so alone
Like you just want to head back home
Where everyone knows here
The highways freeze over
Where the land of the living skies got tattooed on here shoulder
I seen it the one time that I got to hold here
And I think about that now and then
We kissed in the car
I tuned her guitar
And played some old Joni Mitchell tune
Then I said goodbye to Saskatoon
Goodbye Saskatoon
