Lyrics Runnin' Back To Saskatoon - The Guess Who

There′s a province up in Canada that's right next door to ours. It′s called Saskatchewan. And, uh, in that province there's a small town, uh, where nothing much ever happens, called Saskatoon. This is a tune about that town. This is called "Runnin' Back To Saskatoon".

I been hangin′ around gas stations
I been learnin′ 'bout tires
I been talkin′ to grease monkeys
I been workin' on cars

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
Runnin′ back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
Sing another prairie tune
Sing another prairie tune

I been hangin' around libraries
I been learnin′ 'bout books
I been talkin' to play writers
I been workin′ on words, phrases

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
Runnin′ back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
Sing another prairie tune
Sing another prairie tune

I been hangin' around hospitals
I been learnin′ 'bout dyin′
I been talkin' to heart doctors
I been workin′ on disease

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
Runnin' back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
Sing another prairie tune
Sing another prairie tune

This tune is home grown
Don't come from Hong Kong
This tune is home grown
Don′t come from Hong Kong

I been hangin′ around grain elevators
I been learnin' ′bout food
I been talkin' to soil farmers
I been workin′ on land

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
Runnin' back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
Sing another prairie tune
Sing another prairie tune

I been hangin′ around camera stores
I been learnin' 'bout sight
I been talkin′ to film makers
I been workin′ on eyes

Moose Jaw saw a few, Moosomin too
Runnin' back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat
Sing another prairie tune
Sing another prairie tune

This tune is home grown
Don′t come from Hong Kong
This tune is home grown
Don't come from Hong Kong
