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 rusted for a while 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 are doing 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 rusted for a while 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 rusted for a while 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
