Pictou County

Well, I thought I'd be wise
To go west for the money
So I wouldn't have to sell my body
So I loaded up the K car
With a trunk of Sam's Pizza
And my best winter radial tires
Wishin' I was back in Pictou County
What doesn't kill me will just make me sadder

Well, I thought I'd be wise
To try the big city
Where everyone is sellin' me hydro
Now here I am
Losing my humour
'Cuz I don't have The Comedy Channel
Wishin' I was back in Pictou County
What doesn't kill me will just make me sadder

Well, I thought I'd be wise to go west for the quiet
Join the gophers in the endless prairies
I got so much Regina
And so much Beaver River
I was too tired to do poor Prince Albert
Woe no
Wishin' I was back in Pictou County
What doesn't kill me will just make me sadder
Go right ahead, Evan

Well, I thought I'd be wise
To go raw like Quebecois
With my gitter and my pocket rocker
But on Montreal's streets
They want smoked meat
Kicked my ass
Saul Bellow
To Chicago
Wishin' I was back in Pictou County
What doesn't kill me will just make me sadder

Well, I thought I'd be wise
To go home for my sanity
'Cuz I wasn't doin' myself any favours
But when it got dark
The car wouldn't start
And I ended up on Baffin Island
Wishin' I was back in Pictou County
What doesn't kill me will just make me sadder
Woehoe
What doesn't kill me will just made me sadder
