Loaded up my parents' car nine years ago
Set sail for the big city, dropped anchor long ago
Where all my friends, we lived together in a big ol' shithole
Where we got drunk most of the days, the other days we were bored
Cause we're just small town boys and girls in big city bars
We all congregated here to find our own stars
And all our hopes and dreams get a little hazy in these city streets
'Cause there ain't no one here from here, if you know what I mean
Brad came from Fenelon Falls, Mike from down the road
Matty's in from ol' Lindsay and Jake from way up North
Jon and me from Omememee, Neil Young is in my head
Jesse, Sam from Port Perry and I forget where Kelly said
Cause we're just small town boys and girls in big city bars
We all congregated here to find our own stars
And all our hopes and dreams get a little hazy in these city streets
'Cause there ain't no one here from here, if you know what I mean
Now it seems I'm getting bored of this city
Getting by the best that I can
Drink a little more than I probably should
And play my banjo whenever I can
And lord I hate my job but it pays the bills,
Let's me go out on a Saturday night
To hit the concrete, but it's all concrete
With my good friends by my side...
Cause we're just small town boys and girls in big city bars
We all congregated here to find our own stars
And all our hopes and dreams get a little hazy in these city streets
'Cause there ain't no one here from here, if you know what I mean
