[Verse 1]
I don't know what you expect from me
But I can tell you, you ain't gonna get it
'Cause I'm packing my bags
Gonna fall off the face of the earth
No more clerical work
No more papers to file
No more friends to exile
No more lives to defile
I'm gonna go somewhere where they don't know I exist
It's foreign, exotic
Gonna fly all the way

To Canada
They speak differently there
But not so differently that I have to feel scared
Yeah, I'm goin' away
Yeah, I'm leavin' today
Or maybe tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Or next month
I still have responsibilities
I gotta give my two weeks notice to my boss
So she has adequate time to replace me
But I've got bigger plans
Up with the hockey fans
In Canada
Can a day go by
Without longing for that crisp air
And the blue open sky
I've always loved the winter months
And I sure can rock a sweater
And they're too humble to admit it
But they know their lives are better

[Bridge]
Because Canada Dry is my favorite drink
Can't just keep it inside, gotta say what I think
Got a broken heart, I can't ignore it
But with public healthcare, I can sure afford it

[Verse 3]
You know what I'm talkin' about 'cause I'm talkin' a-boot
Stan Rogers, the maple leaf, lumberjacks, and moose
It's Canada
Love the sound of that word
'Cause it sounds a hell of a lot like leaving here
Which is just wonderfully absurd
Yeah I'm goin' away
I'll be leavin' today
Or maybe when I'm older

I'll be gettin' there someday
Though it might not be now
Or I'll forget about all my hopes and dreams and fears
And just stay down
On the latitude scale
The wind might pale
In comparison
