lyrics

I've seen the forest through the trees and I believe,
The time has come to leave this land of opportunity.
I ain't crawlin' under barbed wire or parachuting from a plane.
I'll drive my hybrid across the bridge that crosses Lake Champlain.

Oh Canada, I come running.
Rosin up the bow, I'm told you know what you've got coming.
As they march you up on stage, 'cause it's time to take your turn,
Playing the fiddle, while watching Rome burn.

I've been running, running up North.
Fleeing from a country of hurricanes and wars.
To where the cities are immaculate and the women treat you nice.
If you'd only ask for it, I'd give you my advice.

Oh Canada, I come running Rosin up the bow,
I'm told you know what you've got coming.
I did my very best to rob the maestro of his turn.
Playing the fiddle, while watching Rome burn.

The ten percent I've got missing from my paycheck,
Proves that I'm insured. So go interrupt my favorite show
With a commercial for the cure.
They write the script, you take the pills.
All your troubles go away. But if you've got no troubles,
It's the man you've got to pay.

Oh Canada, I come running.
Rosin up the bow, I'm told you know what you've got coming.
They divide the pie, in the blink of an eye, case closed, court adjourned. Playing the fiddle, while watching Rome burn.

Comanchero Boston, Massachusetts

Since 2003, Comanchero has crafted an Americana sound that combines old traditions with new, Country with Rock, Bluegrass with Blues, Honky Tonk with Funk, and Roots with Rockabilly. While unique in their own sound, there is something strikingly familiar in Comanchero’s songs that weave influences like Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, Little Feat, CAKE, Wilco, and Mumford & Sons. ... more
