Ethan Daniel Davidson - Saskatoon Lyrics

Been walkin through the middle of nowhere Feelin low and hollow as a vampire The sunrise this morning was brought to me by General Electric N I guess they'll re-run it at 4 N I don't know if I've been thinkin of you Or if it's just the power of suggestion Cuz you know I've seen too many feel good films N I've heard too many love songs N I'm low Walkin the dark roads out towards Saskatoon

Stopped into a prairie bar n I had a glass of bourbon Well every fire's got to run out of fuel sooner or later even the sun burns through its hydrogen Like we burn off the ANGST-DESPERATION-IMMEDIACY-N-IDEALISM OF OUR YOUTHS N THE NEXT THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW WE'RE Shopping for furniture Baby clothes N mortgages Raising our families 'til we're raising the daisies But me I'm still raising Cain Walking through the midnight out towards Saskatoon

I don't need no reason Just trying to find a place that feels like home Old men rumble round on tractors It must be the reaping season But it's by your side that I belong N besides I don't even really know anyone in Saskatchewan anyway I'm just low Walking the back roads out towards Saskatoon

Every other place just looks the same with its swimming pools and movie stars Same seal of approval from Good Housekeeping and the same warning labels from the Surgeon General It all smacks of corporate sponsorship n smells like expensive suits at board meetings There aren't even any gamblers or hobos anymore that don't work for Sony or Disney or some such thing
N I'd like to tell you just how I feel Maybe even write you a love song But it's all been said so many times So just turn on your radio
N you can hear someone much more eloquent than me Singin 'bout exactly how I feel N besides I'm far away I wish you were here 'neath the prairie moon
Walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin wallkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin walkin to Saskatoon
