With a ghetto blaster strapped across his chest
He sprawled across my hood and he did his best
So I put a loonie in his paper cup
The sky it cracked and opened up
And the wind it started whispering in my ear
Telling me things I don't want to hear
Like telling me it's time to go
Move on son, blow wind blow
If you leave right now and drive all night
You will make it,
And Winnipeg was right, I don't want to fight
You so let's not fake this
Those prairie nights, those western winds
They feel so right, I'd fit right in
Those empty roads, they clear my skin
They call my name - into the flame
Sell your things and give the rest away
Bring only what you can carry we're leaving today
Abandon all your rusty dreams
Trade them in for magic beans
If I leave right now and drive all night
Do you think I will make it ?
And Winnipeg was right, I don't want to fight
You so let's not fake this
Those prairie nights, those western winds
They feel so right, I'd dig right in
Those empty roads, they clear my skin
They call my name - into the flame
And ride, right into the night
Right up out of Drumheller
Ride into the sun.
And cry, I just might
What if we arrive and I'm the only one ?
Those northern lights, those western winds
They feel so right, I'd fit right in
Those empty roads, they forgive my sins
They call my name - into the flame
