Living in a trailer across the road

From the cows you were supposed to milk

Before dawn

You don't get home in time

And besides you're ripped and torn

You're walked to the edge of the land and told

"Never darken this doorway again."

Kind of a killer

When when when

You cross the world's longest covered bridge

On your father's bike to see your girl

With another man

You were ten minutes late

She gets away to tell you

"You have a lot of pigeon shit on you."

That's what happens

In the longest covered bridge in the world

Kind of a killer..

When when when

You drink a half a quart of whiskey

With your bacon and your eggs

Every morning

You're bound to take a dive

For a stainless steel sink

And someone will have to decide

At what point in flight

Mid or otherwise you died

And for that the first utterance is

"It's about time."

Something a little sad when you walk the fifteen miles

To your baby while your baby has her daddy's car

Things went missing, things got replaced

And a few people struck down the law of the land

With only a butter knife in hand

In Canada
