West Gwillimbury Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

Well, my hair was blowing all wild and free 

The sunlight shone extraordinarily 

I paid my dues and I've said my piece 

I've had my fill of poison berries 

The world was out there waiting just for me 

In West Gwillimbury (Gwillimbury) 

All the grass grew up to my eyelids there 

The clouds all bathed in blue amazing 

I tripped on over the thorns and stared 

At cows of distant farms a-grazing 

Them cows were out there milking it for free 

In West Gwillimbury 

Out in the country 

Get back down to earth 

Sipping a coffee sitting down, a first 

I swear I'll never ruin another shirt 

The ghost of childhood waiting up for me 

In West Gwillimbury 

When my life's becoming all work, no play 

When nature's son has lost its Mother 

I'll slip the noose of this old rat race 

To sing my song on a porch swing, brother 

The world is out there waiting just for me 

In West Gwillimbury (Gwillimbury) 

All the fields are out there swaying merrily 

In West Gwillimbury (Gwillimbury) 

Gwillimbury
