lyrics

I made my way to Edmonton
I’m going home to see a friend
Forget the easy way I always travel hard
Sling my pack up on my back
And strike off northward for the track
And catch a ride that’s heading east out of the yard

As the night breaks into day
You know I had to get away
I know that this is what it must be all about
Roll across the prairie fields
Through the golden harvest yields
Like the autumn snowgeese making their way south

Sweating soaked right through the skin
From running for a train again
I caught a ride on out of Winnipeg and then
Somewhere in North Ontario
They threw me off but they don’t know
I turned around and did it all over again

Whistle blowing through the trees
I feel the quaking in my knees
That harmony that tears right through the lonesome heart
I pack my kit up for the ride
And hang my guitar by my side
And hope that maybe this time that I will depart

I caught one from the frying pan
That rolled into the fire and
Left me in Oba where there’s nothing going on
As the rain turns into snow
If an eastbound train would show
I’d swing aboard and I’d be going going gone
I’d swing aboard and I’d be going going gone
