11. My Home on the Fraser 3:27

I live along the mighty Fraser
And there’ll come a day
when I must leave her
But when my wife says I must leave it
I don’t think that she means it
She knows I ain’t movin’
out of my town
‘Til God is ready to show me around
My best friends have always lived here
Been here for tens of thousands of years
I know they’ll never leave it even though
the government’s seized it
I know that you can’t move them off of their grounds
Transformers will always be around
I still keep all the old traditions
Like learnin’ from my Aunt in the kitchen
‘Cause I know one day she’s leavin’
With those secrets that she’s keepin’
And I know she wants to pass them on down
Before God’s ready to show her around
I’ve always been a man (gal) of nature
And the country is just so great here
I just hope we don’t screw it up
‘cause if we do we’re out of luck
The salmon runs can only take so much
Of the muck, the bark,
the slides, and the sludge
Don’t want to give the wrong impression
BC is still a slice of Heaven
Tell me where else can you find
a trout on your line every single time?
But in the creeks and lakes
you’ll find province wide
And ‘long the drive
there’s fruit and Okanagan wine
Yeah, I know a lot of musicians
from Vancouver to the east of Mission
They’re the best folk all around
I only wish they’d form a town
Then maybe I’d have someplace else
to settle down
Where I know the good lord is
workin’ clear and loud
