Oh Moose Jaw

Main Street at dawn, breathing through-and-through the chill
A train whistle pierces the starlit night, so still
Moose Jaw is small, but the roads lead so far
For generations, time gently carries on and on

Oh Moose Jaw, four seasons in a single week
Oh Moose Jaw, where the world is looking bright
This little town has seen its share of wind and rain
But this resilience, it’s written deep in our own bones

Look at the driver there, hands upon the wheel
Give a-simple finger-wave, you know the feeling
A greeting born on the streets of Moose Jaw
Warm enough to melt the snow from every frozen bough

Oh Moose Jaw, four seasons in a single week
Oh Moose Jaw, where the warmth meets the light
In this little town, warm hearts are everywhere
A nod and a smile, telling more than words can say

Watch the fire now, let the embers glow and leap
Family huddle close, while the world’s fast asleep
(sh……)
Listen to the north wind, tell a legendary tale
Where life under snow, dreams beyond the gale

When the ice finally breaks and the Wakamow starts to flow
Watching the first pair of Canada geese return to the park we know
We’ll trade the coats for tees and look up to brighter skies
To catch every drop of gold, as the sun goes riding by

Oh Moose Jaw, we cross four seasons in a single week
Oh Moose Jaw, we soaking in the golden light
This little town may not be big
But no one stays a stranger for long

Oh this is Moose Jaw
Where the seasons drift and flow
And where we all call home

Oh Moose Jaw
