Lyrics
lyrics and music by ken s. lusk acoustic and vocals by ken s. lusk bass and electrics and solos by doug frozel piano and backing vocals by john cal well i found my friend up in Saskatoon didn't know what he wanted to do.... he asked me if i could lend him a dime i said i, i wish i had a dime to my name.... we decided to try Montreal way, headed out the very next day with my rabbit in my pocket an' my fingers crossed not a single mile was lost... so i said hello to my family there, they said, 'hey ken, you're losin' your hair'.... i said i'm on the trail of fortune an' fame makin' up new rules to this game....you know what they said? they said.... slow down boy now, you're killin' yourself slow down boy now, what you tryin' t'do to your health? they said....slow down boy now, this ain't the road to follow slow down boy now, won't you settle down an' make us happy? well my friend couldn't take this Montreal scene said he couldn't find his Canadian dream so we parted company and he went south agreed to get in touch by word of mouth.... so i said goodbye to my family and friends see ya when i pass this way again... there was food and beer an' i sang 'em a song they asked me to stay but i was already gone.... chorus so i floated around from town to town tryin' to find my style tryin' t'find my own sound well the times were hard the breaks were few all the bad stories that you've heard are true.... so now i'm sittin' on a million bucks i knew that rabbit would bring me luck... i'm tryin' real hard to stay in the scene i guess you could say it's my Canadian dream.... chorus
