Canada Bound

Story Behind The Song

Was discussing a friend's husband who "sold everything but his Model A" to be able to afford to go to Canada to join the Air Force before the US entered WWII. So, that got me to thinking how Canada played a role in America's view of WWII & Vietnam. Just

Lyrics

Canada Bound

VERSE 1:
It was 1941 the summer before Pearl Harbor
& America wasn?t ready to go to war
Tommy sold everything but his Model A
Had to make some money to pay his way
Across the border to join the Air Force
& his Momma cried as he said goodbye
He was Canada bound
Until peace could be found

CHORUS 1:
He was ready to fight
He was ready to fly
Ready to sacrifice it all
For what he thought was right
Some folks disagreed
But Tommy said you can?t go wrong
By standing up
For what you believe

VERSE 2:
Then in 1967 the Summer of Love began
America was divided over Vietnam
& the day after graduation
Tommy?s boy got a Presidential Invitation
A one way ticket to Danang
& his Momma cried as he said goodbye
He was Canada Bound
Until peace could be found

CHORUS 2:
He was ready to run
He was ready to fly
Ready to sacrifice it all
For what he thought was right
Some folks disagreed
But Tommy said son you can?t go wrong
By standing up
For what you believe

BRIDGE:
It?s not about fighting
It?s not about running
It?s only about the choices we make?

CHORUS 3:
Ready to run
Or ready to fight
Ready to sacrifice it all
For what you know is right
Some folks will disagree
But you gotta know you can?t go wrong
By standing up
For what you believe
