Jordan Burnell - My Home Town Lyrics

Jordan Burnell - My Home Town Lyrics

From the Northwest is the cascades, there's all different landscapes
From man-made lakes to land flat as Finnish pancakes

Somewhere off the Trans-Canada highway,
I stay with pride as big as our crime rate

Just across the bridge, we got a reservation
Our hobbies are hockey and gettin' wasted
off of malted hops, til' we can barely walk

And I don't know Terry Fox, but I can show you where he stopped.
On ice skates, we hold it down for Canada, with the most pro hockey players per capita.

Nowadays it seems that's all that we talk about. That's just the way it is when we walk around this hockey town.

Standing at the top of Mt. McKay, feeling proud to say, that I'm from Thunder Bay.

Now, from Current River to Westfort, and everywhere in between.
I wanna hear my whole city sing with me like...

(Chorus)
Round my hometown...memories are fresh. x3
Round my hometown...round my hometown

(Shh) Can I have some peace and quiet for the sleeping giant?
And the people that are still diving down in Silver Islet.

The mosquitoes, they're still a-bitin' at the Mission Island.
You see these people smiling, but please keep in mind it's

where people rely on paper mills to pay their bills.
Work their whole life and their jobs unstable still.

I know it isn't fair, but start giving cheers.
Cause we're still living here, still sipping crystal beer.

Standing outside 'til our toes feel numb. Just waiting 'til that cold chill comes.

The same place Steve Stills met Neil Young.
You can still hear 'em in your ear drums.
Superior by nature, you may think it sounds cliche.
But me? I just think it sounds T-Bay.

Now, from Current River to Westfort, and everywhere in between.
I wanna hear my whole city sing with me like this!

(Chorus)
Round my hometown...memories are fresh. x2
Round my hometown x3
I love it in the city x2
