Lakeside motel
At the corner gas
You asked for my help
Standing by your van
You're barefoot in a snapback
Sippin' on your Iced Capp
I changed your tire, you gave me your name
So I crashed your camp
With some friends of mine
Reached for your hand
The first of July
Fireworks on the water
Then we partied in the harbour
Blue Rodeo our soundtrack that night
We're high on

Canadian summer
Makin' friends, crushin' cans, holdin' hands
In those Muskoka pines
You blink and it's over
Driftin' campfire nights in the land of the Northern Sky
And ooh, howl at the moon
When I, stumbled in love with you, babe
All the magic we made
That Canadian summer

Side-by-side into town
In my rusty truck
Drivin' sundowns
Hit mix and makin' out
Off-road in a downpour
Hand prints on a fogged door
And I never felt so alive, so alive, yeah

Canadian summer
Makin' friends, crushin' cans, holdin' hands
In those Muskoka pines
We'll blink and it's over
Driftin' campfire nights in the land of the Northern Sky
And ooh, howl at the moon
When I, stumbled in love with you, babe
All the magic we made
That Canadian summer

I hear a loon on the water
Out the backdoor of a one-room when you fall asleep
Babe, you're still wearing my Hip t-shirt
Do you think about me when you smell the pine trees
Oh, I hope you're happy and your heart still burns
Ooh-aah
Ooh-aah
Canadian summer

Canadian summer
Makin' friends, crushin' cans, holdin' hands
In those Muskoka pines
You blink and it's over
Driftin' campfire nights in the land of the Northern Sky
And ooh, howl at the moon
When I, stumbled in love with you, babe
All the magic we made
Yeah, those were the days
Oh, don't you wish we could stay
In our Canadian summer? (Canadian summer)
Ooh
