cd: Relic of a Bygone Day
track 10: Ten Cent Beers
Adventures all end
And this one’s near over
We’re smiling back
Looking over our shoulder
At what’s taken place
In the weeks since we’re gone
We’re burning the whiskey
and carrying on
Now we’re drinkin’ ten cent beers
On the streets of Toronto
The ticket in my pocket says
The Greyhound leaves at four
Drinkin’ ten cent beers
On the streets of Toronto
Down to my last dollar means
I’m good for several more
Too young to worry
And too dumb to care
We headed north
With our thumbs in the air
The St. Lawrence seaway was
Where we were bound
Packs on our backs
And we slept on the ground
Chorus
Our last ride ended
A mile from the border
We hid our smoke
There was no law and order
We made the island
In a hard driving rain
It felt so good
To be back there again
Chorus
Adventures all end
And this one’s near over
We’re smiling back
Looking over our shoulder
At what’s taken place
In the weeks since we’re gone
We’re burning the whiskey
and carrying on
Chorus
