Born in Ontario lyrics

[Verse 1]
You might see me down in Alabam'
Or Baton Rouge, down in Louisiana
I might make it up to Detroit City
Where people work hard and life is gritty
It don't really matter where I am
It's what I do and what I can
This old world has been good to me
So I try to give back and I try to be free

[Chorus]
I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
Ontario, I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
Ontario

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I still like to sing a happy song
But once in a while when things go wrong
I might pick up a pen and scribble on a page
Try to make sense of my inner rage
One cold winter we went down south
With daddy's typewriter for a couple of months
[Chorus]
But I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
Ontario, I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
Ontario

[Pump Organ and Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I was born in Ontario
Where the black fly bites and the green grass grows
That's where I learned most of what I know
'Cause you don't learn much when you start to get old
I moved on at a tender young age
Mom and daddy never seemed to stay
In any one place for very long
We just kept movin', movin' on

[Chorus]
But I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
Ontario, I was born in Ontario (Ontario)
Ontario

[Instrumental Outro]
