I've been hiding for a year, in a cave near Florsheim
Evenings I can faintly hear the autobahn
There are wild pigs and deer and if I had a rifle
I think I could hold out here forever

Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada

I'm down to my last few packs of cigarettes
All the sugar smacks are gone and so is all my money
I came seeking peace and truth three months ago, I lost a tooth
And came down with a cough that just won't go away

Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada

An angel came last night to say
That Buddha just can't hit the B
The root note in the last chord of the last chorus
Well, you know it's not that easy

If you've ever played a fret less
And hell he's only had the thing since Christmas
Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada

I've been hiding for a year in a cave near Florsheim
Evenings I can faintly hear the autobahn
There are wild pigs and deer and if I had a rifle
I think I could hold out here forever

Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada
Oh, Canada
