"Canadian Dirt" lyrics

We learn to crawl and walk and play ball on it
We skin our knees, plant seeds and grow crops on it
We wash it off at the end of a hard day's work

We lay stones, build our homes and break bones on it
Wear honest holes in our old blue jeans on it
Our trucks run better with a fresh coat of back road dust from Canadian dirt

It's highways and cities and water tower towns
It's cowboys and hippies and whiskey rounds
Jesus and mama, tattoos and home t-shirts
And it's mustangs and tractors, rusty barbed wire
It's guitars and cold beers and back forty fires
Give all you've got to, some gave all for it, Canadian dirt

We learn to drive, rope and ride and love life on it
We say "I do" and honeymoon our new bride on it
Live everyday and raise our babies on Canadian dirt

It's highways and cities and water tower towns
It's cowboys and hippies and whiskey rounds
Jesus and mama, tattoos and home t-shirts
And it's mustangs and tractors, rusty barbed wire
It's guitars and cold beers and back forty fires
Give all you've got to, some gave all for it, Canadian dirt

And it's mustangs and tractors, rusty barbed wire
It's guitars and cold beers and back forty fires
Give all you've got going, some gave all for it, Canadian dirt

And our roots run deep on our family trees
Planted in Canadian dirt
