Runnin` Back To Saskatoon lyrics

~~~~
{Spoken Intro:

"There's a province up in Canada that's right
next door to ours.
It's called Saskatchewan. And, uh, in that province
there's a
small town, uh, where nothing much ever happens,
called
Saskatoon. This is a tune about that town. This is called
'Runnin'
Back To Saskatoon'."

I been hangin' around gas
stations
I been learnin' 'bout tires
I been talkin' to grease
monkeys
I been workin' on cars

Moose Jaw, Broadview, Moosomin
too
Runnin' back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine
Hat
Sing another prairie tune
Sing another prairie tune

I been
hangin' around libraries
I been learnin' 'bout books
I been talkin' to
playwriters
I been workin' on words, phrases

I been hangin' around
hospitals
I been learnin' 'bout dyin'
I been talkin' to heart
doctors
I been workin' on disease

This spirit is home grown
Don't
come from Hong Kong
This spirit is home grown
Don't come from Hong
Kong

I been hangin' around grain elevators
I been learnin' 'bout
food
I been talkin' to soil farmers
I been workin' on land

I been
hangin' around camera stores
I been learnin' 'bout sight
I been talkin'
to film makers
I been workin' on eyes

Moose Jaw, Broadview, Moosomin
too
Runnin' back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine
Hat
Sing another prairie tune
Sing another prairie tune

This
spirit is home grown
Don't come from Hong Kong
This spirit is home
grown
Don't come from Hong Kong
