Listen up kid
It s not what you think
Staying up too late
Had a little too much to drink
Walked home across the bridge
When the Marquee shut down
There s a reason that I love this town

Nobody cares how much money you have
If you ve got enough to get in a cab
There ll be drinks on the house if your house burns down
There s a reason that I love this town

I saw your band in the early days
We all understand why you moved away
We ll hold a grudge anyway

I shot the shit with Miniature Tim
If he needs a tune, then I ll write one for him
We like the same books and we like the same sounds
There s a reason that I love this town

I played a show
In Kelowna last year
They said pick it up Joel
We re dying in here
Picture one hand clapping
And picture half that sound
There s a reason that I hate that town

If you saw my band in the early days
Then you ll understand why we moved away
But you ll hold a grudge anyway
Because it s fun

Davey and me
Face down in our soup
In some French restaurant
I saw Riviere Du Loup
Last night out on tour
We burned the place to the ground
There s a reason that I love this town
There s a reason that I love this town
There s a reason that I love this town
