[Intro]
Hey there, bud
Zip that parka up tight
Maple leaf on my heart
Red and white, red and white (woo!)
[Verse 1]
From Manitoba wheat fields
To that Bay of Fundy tide
Prairies in my rearview
Rockies on my mind
True North strong, yeah we built for the cold
Frost on the glass, but my blood run gold
Crack a fresh two four
Case on the tailgate
Fog from my breath
Snow on the license plate (eh?)
[Chorus]
True North strong, red and white freedom
Skates on the ice and the crowd still screamin'
Hockey fights, gloves drop, boys ain't leavin'
"Sorry" in the box, but we still believe in
Hey there, bud, that’s how we roll
From the beavers on the banks to the blacktop roads
Raise that can, toast this land, say
"Two four cold" and an "eh? eh? eh?"
[Verse 2]
Got a toque on my head
Bass in the box
Moose tracks cuttin' through that fresh snow flock
Beavers build dams where the river runs fast
Like this beat in my chest when the anthem blasts
From Peg City nights to the old dirt road
Flannel on my back, heart ten below
Line ’em up at the blue line, crowd go nuts
Stick tap, chirp once, then we square it up (hey!)
[Chorus]
True North strong, red and white freedom
Skates on the ice and the crowd still screamin'
Hockey fights, gloves drop, boys ain't leavin'
"Sorry" in the box, but we still believe in
Hey there, bud, that’s how we roll
From the beavers on the banks to the blacktop roads
Raise that can, toast this land, say
"Two four cold" and an "eh? eh? eh?"
[Bridge]
From the French on the sign
To the slang in the bar
From the Northern Lights
To the late-night stars
It’s a big ol’ land
But we stand as one
Red and white flag
In the prairie sun (yah)
[Chorus]
True North strong, red and white freedom
Skates on the ice and the crowd still screamin'
Hockey fights, gloves drop, boys ain't leavin'
"Sorry" in the box, but we still believe in
Hey there, bud, that’s how we roll
From the beavers on the banks to the blacktop roads
Raise that can, toast this land, say
"Two four cold" and an "eh? eh? eh?"
