Highway Eleven Lyrics - Singles - Wayne Rostad

Just s countryside story full of sunshine and glory 

Won't you come for a visit take the old Wakefield Train 

Smile at a stranger go visit a Neighbor 

And love everybody 'cause they all love you 

Oh! It's not like it once was the big timber's all gone 

They're cutting up north now in Maniwaki 

The people live high by the streams and the rivers 

Praying to Jesus to help fill their needs(ref) 

There's just one train weekly with the freight for the township 

The city museum has a steamer trip too 

The ten fifty-seven is out of retirement 

Reliving the old days the way the old timers do (ref) 

Now old highway eleven is rough and uneven 

It whines through the valley that the river runs through 

The people live happy in their home built log shanties 

And wonder why city folks live like they do (ref)
