Round hair and blue eyes

I was skinny and six

I had second-hand skates

And a new hockey stick

It was northern Alberta and nobody thought

That the kid from the

Farm would amount to a lot

Growing up how I did

Well I knew how to work

So I practiced my first

Year ' s guitar til I hurt

Now I travel around and

They pay me to play

And when people ask me

I ' m so proud to say

I ' m a Canadian kid born and bred

Have two boots and a zed

Anywhere in this world that

I may lay my head

I ' ll still always be a Canadian kid

Now I sing everywhere and more that I see

The more that I know

That I ' m lucky to be

In a land where

I ' m sittin on top of the world

With my 5% beer and Canadian girls

I ' m a Canadian kid born and bred

Have two boots and a zed

Anywhere in this world

That I may lay my head

I ' ll still always be a Canadian kid

I ' m a Canadian kid born and bred

Have two boots and a zed

Anywhere in this world

That I may lay my head

I ' ll still always be a Canadian kid

I ' ll still always be a Canadian kid
