My Home Town Lyrics - Singles - Jordan Burnell

(Verse 1) 

From the Norwesters 

to Cascades 

There's all different 

landscapes 

From man made lakes, 

to land flat as Finnish 

pancakes 

Somewhere off the 

trans-Canada highway 

I stay with pride as 

big as our crime rate 

Just across the 

bridge, we got a 

reservation 

Our hobbies are 

hockey and getting 

wasted 

off of malted hops till 

we can barely walk 

and i don't know 

Terry Fox, but I can 

show you where he 

stopped 

On ice skates we hold 

it down for Canada, 

with the most pro 

hockey players per 

capita 

Nowadays it seems 

that's all that we talk 

about 

that's just the way it is 

when we walk around 

this hockey town 

Standing at the top 

of Mount Mckay 

feeling proud to say, 

that I'm from 

Thunder Bay 

Now, from Current River 

to Westfort 

and everywhere in 

between 

I wanna hear my whole 

city sing with me...like... 

(Chorus) 

Round my hometown, 

memories are fresh 

Round my hometown, 

memories are fresh 

Round my hometown, 

memories are fresh 

Round my hometown 

Round my hometown 

(Verse 2) 

Shhh.. can I have 

some peace and quiet 

for the sleeping giant 

and the people that 

are still diving down in 

silver islet 

the mosquitoes 

they're still a bitin' at 

the mission island 

you see these people 

smiling but please 

keep in mind, it's... 

where people rely on 

paper mills to pay 

their bills 

work their whole life 

and their jobs 

unstable still 

I know it isn't fair, but 

start giving cheers 

Cause we're still living 

here, still sipping 

crystal beer 

standing outside till 

our toes feel numb 

just waiting till that 

cold chill comes 

The same place Steve 

Stills met Neil Young 

You can still hear them 

in your ear drums 

Superior by Nature 

you might think it 

sounds cliche 

but me 

I just think it sounds T-Bay 

Now from Current River 

to Westfort 

and everywhere inbetween 

I wanna hear 

my whole city sing with me 

like this 

(Chorus) 

I like it in the city 

I like it in the city
