Runnin’ Back To Saskatoon Lyrics By The Guess Who

spoken
there’s a province up in canada that’s right next door to ours it’s called saskatchewan and uh in that province there’s a small town uh where nothing much ever happens called saskatoon this is a tune about that town this is called runnin’ back to saskatoon

i been hangin’ around gas stations
i been learnin’ ’bout tires
i been talkin’ to grease monkeys
i been workin’ on cars

moose jaw saw a few moosomin too
runnin’ back to saskatoon
red deer terrace and a medicine hat
sing another prairie tune
sing another prairie tune

i been hangin’ around libraries
i been learnin’ ’bout books
i been talkin’ to play writers
i been workin’ on words phrases

moose jaw saw a few moosomin too
runnin’ back to saskatoon
red deer terrace and a medicine hat
sing another prairie tune
sing another prairie tune

i been hangin’ around hospitals
i been learnin’ ’bout dyin’
i been talkin’ to heart doctors
i been workin’ on disease

moose jaw saw a few moosomin too
runnin’ back to saskatoon
red deer terrace and a medicine hat
sing another prairie tune
sing another prairie tune

this tune is home grown
don’t come from hong kong
this tune is home grown
don’t come from hong kong

i been hangin’ around grain elevators
i been learnin’ ’bout food
i been talkin’ to soil farmers
i been workin’ on land

moose jaw saw a few moosomin too
runnin’ back to saskatoon
red deer terrace and a medicine hat
sing another prairie tune
sing another prairie tune

i been hangin’ around camera stores
i been learnin’ ’bout sight
i been talkin’ to film makers
i been workin’ on eyes

moose jaw saw a few moosomin too
runnin’ back to saskatoon
red deer terrace and a medicine hat
sing another prairie tune
sing another prairie tune

this tune is home grown
don’t come from hong kong
this tune is home grown
don’t come from hong kong
