canadian summer

lakeside motel

at the corner gas

you asked for my help

standing by your van

you're barefoot in a snapback

sippin' on your iced capp

i changed your tire

you gave me your name

so i crashed your camp

with some friends of mine

reached for your hand

the first of july

fireworks on the water

then we partied in the harbour

blue rodeo our soundtrack that night

we're high on

canadian summer

makin' friends

crushin' cans

holdin' hands

in those muskoka pines

blink and it's over

driftin' campfire nights in the land of the northern sky

and ooh

howl at the moon

and aah

stumbled in love with you

babe

all the magic we made

that canadian summer

side-by-side into town

in my rusty truck

drivin' sundowns

hit mix and makin' out

off-road in a downpour

hand prints on a fogged door

and i never felt so alive

so alive

yeah

canadian summer

makin' friends

crushin' cans

holdin' hands

in those muskoka pines

blink and it's over

driftin' campfire nights in the land of the northern sky

and ooh

howl at the moon

and aah

stumbled in love with you

babe

all the magic we made

that canadian summer

i hear a loon on the water

out the backdoor of a one-room when you fall asleep

babe

you're still wearing my hip t-shirt

do you think about me when you smell the pine trees

oh

i hope you're happy and your heart still burns

ooh aah

ooh aah

canadian summer

canadian summer

makin' friends

crushin' cans

holdin' hands

in those muskoka pines

you blink and it's over

driftin' campfire nights in the land of the northern sky

and ooh

howl at the moon

and aah

stumbled in love with you

babe

all the magic we made

yeah

those were the days

oh

don't you wish we could stay

in our canadian summer

ooh.
