You could shoot off a cannon
Down the middle of bond
And attract no attention in downtown st. johns
This getting nowhere is getting to me
Wondering where can you go
To be all you can be

No regular joe wants to pull up and go
And wind up homesick
Where theres no one you know
Just a smoke and a beer
And the sports on tv
Being sorry you left
With no choice but to leave

(chorus)
No change in the weather
No change in me
I dont want to leave
But I cant live for free
Cant eat the air, cant drink the sea
No change in the weather
No change in me

You could shoot off a cannon
From the top of longs hill
And a gullivers taxi might be all that youd kill
We were promised the sun
And the moon and the stars
We got weathered old clapboard and salt-rusted cars

So Ill join in the leaving like all of the rest
Montreal, calgary, vancouver west
Lay down on the sidewalk
Kick off and die
And watch people not looking
As they hurry by

(chorus)
