lyrics

earliest i remember tornado warnings and shelter from the storm / we had to build something to hold onto or i'd have kept moving on / ontario winter keeps me locked in tight / i should have went south you could have been right / why am i staying here if i could have been gone / i could stay broke and live more than honest if i headed east and lived in montreal / we could have a few drinks and have a few more then what am i good for / i could have been gone / i love northern ontario it's more beautiful than ottawa fall / but it's even colder still than my damn town so why do i hang around / i could have been gone / i haven't heard her southern drawl in quite some time since she headed west crossing state lines / if california keeps you cold at night you left me nothing but cold / when half your life is dark and cold sunset sunrise are outdated truths it's hard to build something to hold onto to keep from just standing still / i could have been gone
