lyrics

"Manitoba"

These muggy Texas summers
They're really bringin' me down
Got these bugs in the air
Got this sweat on my brow
And there ain't much that we can do
Cept to get out while we can
I may not have a clue, babe
But I sure got a plan

We can hop in my car
And drive straight north
And we ain't gonna stop
Til that Canadian border
And when the customs man he asks
If I've got somethin' to declare
I'll say I've never been to heaven
But we're gonna find it somewhere

In Manitoba
Twelve-hundred miles from here
Manitoba
We could just disappear
In Manitoba
Baby as long as you're there
It's as nice a place as anywhere

Gonna build us a cabin
Way outta town
In the middle of nowhere
Where we'll never be found
live glorious and free
Spring, summer, and fall
And try to keep warm through the winter
Wearin' nothin' at all

In Manitoba
Just runnin' buck bare
Through Manitoba
In that frigid prairie air
In Manitoba
Baby as long as you're there
It's as nice a place as anywhere

And how gonna make it?
I ain't concerned about that
We're just a couple love struck dreamers
Throwin' darts at the map
But I can promise you baby
If you'll just take my hand
I'll be happy wherever I am

Provided it's not hot

In Manitoba
Where there's moose and there's bear
Manitoba
Hudson Bay and free healthcare
Manitoba
Baby as long as you're there
It's as nice a place as anywhere

Manitoba
