I wish I lived in Canada cause everyone I know
From British Columbia to Ontario
Has got this charm within their personality
I wish I lived in Canada, yeah it’s the place for me

I wish I lived in Canada, the stories that they tell
Through their song and poetry, imagination dwells
From guys like Hawksley Workman to bands like Great Big Sea
I wish I lived in Canada, their music is for me

I wish I lived in Canada, I’ll become a connoisseur
Of Nova Scotian donairs and of gravy chips with curd
And bottles of that syrup syphoned from the maple tree
I wish I lived in Canada, it tastes so very sweet

I wish I lived in Canada, that’s where I’ll find my girl
After all these travelling years, she’ll light up my world
In her cutest little accent as we watch the northern lights
She’ll say to me “je t’aime” and we’ll hold each other tight

I wish I lived in Canada where it snows at winter time
We’ll light the fire together and we’ll dream by it at night
We’ll wake in each other’s arms on our white Christmas day
When I find her in Canada that’s where I’ll want to stay

I wish I lived in Canada because when I find my girl
I’ve got this little plan to surely lighten up our world
I’ll take her to the far east coast, a trip to St John’s town
And I’ll hold her while the sun sets and I’ll put one knee on the ground

I wish I lived in Canada cause everyone I know
From British Columbia to Ontario
Has got this charm within their personality
I wish I lived in Canada, yeah it’s the place for me

I wish I lived in Canada, yeah it’s the place for me
