My Hometown by Jordan Burnell Lyrics
(Verse 1)
From the Norwest 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 getting wasted
Off of malted hops, till 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 capital
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 Mount 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
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Round my hometown
(Verse 2)
Shhh......
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 till our toes feel numb..
Just waiting till that cold chill comes
The same place Steve Stills met Neil Young
You can still hear them in your ear drums
Superior by Nature you might 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
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Round my hometown
I like it in the city
I like it in the city
From the Norwest 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 getting wasted
Off of malted hops, till 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 capital
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 Mount 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
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Round my hometown

Round my hometown
Round my hometown
I like it in the city
I like it in the city
