Born In Ontario Lyrics - Psychedelic Pill - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

You might see me down in Alabam' 

Or Baton Rouge 

Down in Louisiana 

I might make it up to Detroit City 

Where people work hard 

And life is gritty 

But it don't really matter where I am 

It's what I do and what I can 

And this old world has been good to me 

I want to give back and I want to be free 

I was born in Ontario 

I was born in Ontario 

Ontario, Ontario, Ontario 

I still like to sing a happy song 

But once in a while when things go wrong 

I might pick up a pen and scribble on a page 

and try to make sense of my inner rage 

One cold winter we went down south 

With daddy's typewriter for a couple of months 

But I was born in Ontario 

I was born in Ontario 

Ontario, Ontario, Ontario 

I was born in Ontario 

Where the black fly bites 

And the green grass grows 

That's where I learned most of what I know 

Cause you don't learn much when you start to get old 

I moved on at a tender young age 

Cause mommy and daddy never seemed to stay 

In any one place for very long 

So we just kept moving, moving on 

But I was born in Ontario 

I was born in Ontario 

Ontario, Ontario, Ontario
