"Kingston Girl" lyrics

"Kingston Girl"

Sleeping out beneath the stars
Graffiti'd walls and cold abandoned cars
Just outside of Saskatoon
The weather turned had to find a rented room

I put my money on a Kingston girl
Just the two of us baby
Versus the world
They clipped our wings
But without 'em we learned to fly

Started off in Lake Louise
Took three days to get to Saugertes
Shoveled snow outside big pink
Watched the silver sun slowly sink

I put my money on a Kingston girl
Just the two of us baby
Versus the world
They clipped our wings
But without 'em we learned to fly

I hit the gas but my wheels were stuck
Ran out of steam then I ran out of luck
Took a job and the pay was good
You know I'd be there if I only could
You know I'd be there if I only could

I put my money on a Kingston girl
Just the two of us baby
Versus the world
They clipped our wings
But without 'em we learned to fly
