(Verse) Round hair and blue eyes, I was skinny and six I had second-hand skates and a new hockey stick It was northern Alberta and nobody thought That the kid from the farm would amount to a lot
(Verse) Growing up how I did, well I knew how to work So I practiced my first year’s guitar til I hurt Now I travel around and they pay me to play And when people ask me I’m so proud to say
(Chorus) I’m a Canadian kid, born and bred Hat to boots, A to Z Anywhere in this world that I may lay my head I’ll still always be a Canadian kid
(Verse) Now I sing everywhere and more that I see The more that I know that I’m lucky to be In a land where I’m sittin on top of the world With my 5% beer and Canadian Girls
(Chorus x2) I’m a Canadian kid, born and bred Hat to boots, A to Z Anywhere in this world that I may lay my head I’ll still always be a Canadian kid I’ll still always be a Canadian kid
