Saskatchewan

Fifteen hours of flying

A lifetime on my mind

Got no tears for crying

They've all been left behind

And like the world below me

Different colours and scattered lines

There's no perfect ending

We just ran out of time

I'm going back to Saskatchewan

To put my mama in the ground

I'm going back to Saskatchewan

To my mama's little town

A prairie sky never dies

And that's where she called home

Pictures of a little girl

From a life I've never known

The fields they are a perfect gold

And the earth beneath them red

And this is where I'll lay her down

So much left unsaid

I'm going back to Saskatchewan

To put my mama in the ground

I'm going back to Saskatchewan

To my mama's little town

There's the church and the school yard

And the old drug store

Just like from those stories

That she had told me before

The fields they are a perfect gold

And the earth beneath them red

So this is where I'll lay her down

And send my mama off to bed

I'm going back to Saskatchewan

To put my mama in the ground

I'm going back to Saskatchewan

And that's where I'll be found

I'm going back to Saskatchewan

To my mama's little town
