An American Draft Dodger In Thunder Bay - Sam Roberts[00:00:00]

Written by：Sam Roberts[00:00:00]

He was born in a small town[00:00:00]

And he was give every reason to stay[00:00:04]

Hallelujah[00:00:07]

Mississippi[00:00:09]

Postcard living no sign of decay[00:00:11]

Till Vietnam moved next door[00:00:14]

Then hallelujah was off to war[00:00:18]

In the dream he couldn't finish the deed[00:00:21]

He didn't smoke any w**d so why leave[00:00:24]

Going where I can't be found[00:00:28]

And I won't be coming round[00:00:35]

His father Tom said you better sign on[00:00:43]

You'd better take up your gun and fight[00:00:45]

I got nothing against them Viet Cong[00:00:50]

What did they do so wrong and why am I right[00:00:53]

He's on his way to thunder bay[00:00:57]

Crossed the border late at night[00:00:59]

And it was high stakes until he saw the Great Lakes[00:01:03]

And he felt the cold wind bite[00:01:07]

Going where I can't be found[00:01:10]

And I won't be coming round[00:01:17]

No I'm an American on the Canadian shield[00:01:23]

And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields[00:01:28]

It gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in town[00:01:32]

And you're understood[00:01:36]

Missing his home he would wake up in a cold sweat[00:01:39]

And pick up the phone and hope that Tom found a way to forget[00:01:46]

He's been teaching at the high school learning the game[00:01:52]

In thunder bay we're all the same[00:01:56]

He's one of us he has our trust[00:01:59]

But there's no going back once the line is crossed[00:02:03]

I'm an American on the Canadian shield[00:02:06]

And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields[00:02:10]

It gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in town[00:02:14]

And you're understood[00:02:18]

You can't ask what you're asking me to do[00:02:21]

And I hope you understand when I refuse[00:02:24]

I'm going north with my point of view[00:02:28]

And I'm never gonna think the same as you[00:02:31]

And I'm where I can't be found[00:02:34]

And I won't be coming round[00:02:41]

No I'm an American on the Canadian shield[00:02:48]

And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields[00:02:52]

It gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in town[00:02:56]

And you're understood[00:03:00]
