Prairie Town

Born and raised in a prairie town

Just a kid full of dreams

We didn't have much but an old radio

Music came from places we'd never been

Growing up in a prairie town

Learning to drive in the snow

Not much to do, so you start a band

And soon you've gone as far as you can go

Winter nights are long, summer days are gone

Portage and Main, fifty below

Springtime melts the snow, rivers overflow

Portage and Main, fifty below

Portage and Main, fifty below

All the bands in a prairie town

Try to outdo the next in line

Learning records out of Liverpool

Dreams of England on their minds

On thе other side of Winnipeg

Nеil and The Squires played the Zone

But then he went to play

For a while in Thunder Bay

He never looked back and he's never coming home

Winter nights are long, summer days are gone

Portage and Main, fifty below

Springtime melts the snow, rivers overflow

Portage and Main, fifty below

Portage and Main, fifty below

Just a band from a prairie town

Sometimes we'd drive from coast to coast

One call from LA and we'd pack and fly away

But in our hearts we're always prairie folks

Looking back at a prairie town

People ask me why I went away

To fly with the best, sometimes you have to leave the nest

But the prairies made me what I am today

Winter nights are long, summer days are gone

Portage and Main, fifty below

Springtime melts the snow, rivers overflow

Portage and Main, fifty below

Portage and Main, fifty below

You'd stay inside and rock and roll

Portage and Main, fifty below

Portage and Main, fifty below

Portage and Main, fifty below

Portage and Main, fifty below

You'd stay inside and rock and roll

North End

So long, Bannatyne
