Lefty

Your father went off to war
 And your little sister won't be the same
 As the kids next door
 So goodbye Toronto, so long Ontario
 Maybe tomorrow when we go west
 To start a new home
 On our own
 On our own
 And Old Lefty, he never made it too far
 He's oldest, he nearly died in an old Packard
 And I'm sorry, I didn't show
 I'm not an asshole
 I'm just no good at funerals
 So, I'm sorry (I sit here drinking beer out on the lawn)
 You're leaving (watching storms build over south Saskatchewan)
 That story ([?]leave everything we used to love and know)
 Is worth believin' (to make some fresh tracks on the road to [?])
 Five children and some background noise
 Your brothers, they look the same as your two boys
 Those ashes, they're in the ground
 We left them in a Manitoba town
 I'm sorry (don't you tell me that I'll never be alone)
 I didn't show (don't you tell me that I'll never be alone)
 That story (so don't you tell me that I'll never be alone)
 Is worth believin' (don't you tell me)
