canadian kid

brown hair and blue eyes

i was skinny and six

i had second-hand skates and a new hockey stick

it was northern alberta and nobody thought

that the kid from the farm would amount to a lot

growing up how i did

well i knew how to work

so i practiced my first sears guitar til i hurt

now i travel around and they pay me to play

and when people ask me i'm so proud to say

i'm a canadian kid

born and bred

hat to boots

a to z

anywhere in this world that i may lay my head

i'll still always be a canadian kid

now i sing everywhere and more that i see

the more that i know that i'm lucky to be

in a land where i'm sittin on top of the world

with my 5% beer and canadian girls

i'm a canadian kid

born and bred

hat to boots

a to z

anywhere in this world that i may lay my head

i'll still always be a canadian kid

i'll still always be a canadian kid
