about

This song is about going on a cross-canada road trip with your best friend.

lyrics

Hey Lewis
the night won't get any lighter
why don't you pull this car on over
and rest your tired eyes for a while

Hey Lewis
I know you wanna keep on driving
down this road 'till it stops winding
and rest in Winnipeg for a while

But even birds give up that flight
when the day turns into night
they rest their tired wings
for the wind

<chorus>
You know I've heard there's geese in the next town
and they stay there all year round, oh,
they're the kind of birds who never leave.
But we're not like the geese of Wawa
we've gotta go somewhere
maybe south, oh,
we've gotta keep on moving just to see where we've been.

Hey Lewis
the moon's climbing over the tree line
it's hanging up in the sky
and shining down on the lake

So tell me
is she waiting for you at home
if you don't know then pick up the damn phone
and figure out what it's gunna take

<chorus>
You know I've heard there's geese in the next town
and they stay there all year round, oh,
they're the kind of birds who never leave.
But we're not like the geese of Wawa
we've gotta go somewhere
maybe south, oh,
we've gotta keep on moving just to see where we've been.

I've got a beating
in my heart
and someday it's gunna stop
but 'till then
I'm gunna take a look around
I'm sick and tired
of feeling tired
I've had my fill of uninspired
people, who just won't look around
