Driving down Highway One
Just a little east of Saskatchewan
I pulled into a Husky truck stop
Ordered Canadian bacon and a pork chop
I grabbed some smokes and some beer to go
Kept driving through that prairie snow
It was a real blizzard
That’s OK, ain’t no desert lizard

Here’s why
I am - I am Canadian
And I love, I love, I love the northern wasteland
I am - I am Canadian
And we’re too cool - for Uncle Sam

So you better watch out and clear the track
Or I’ll knock you down and give you a whack
Just like Eddie Shack, we don’t take no crap
When it comes to trouble we got a knack

Here’s why
I am - I am Canadian
And I love, I love, I love the northern wasteland
I am - I am Canadian
And we’re too cool - for Uncle Sam

In fact, we’re freezing our asses off!

I am - I am Canadian
And I love, I love, I love the northern wasteland
I am - I am Canadian
We’re too cool - too cool for Uncle Sam
I am, I am, I am Canadian [x4]
