Lyrics
Damn the muddy snow
Damn the wind
Oh how she blows
They're still burning coal
Smoke stacks in the sky
Heading west on the lake shore of
And every home
Way down below
Fires are burning in Ontario
Mississauga
Mississauga
Where the wind breaks your
Waiting in the cold
On the lake shore of
Mississauga
Will you ever learn?
This is no place
For dreamers like you
You were never meant to be
Standing in the cold
But you had to do
What a man's supposed to do
And every bar
And every cheap motel
They do it hard
But there is no tale to tell
Mississauga
Mississauga
Where the wind breaks your
Woken in the cold
On the lake shore of
Mississauga
Woooooooo
It's time to let it go
You tried your mark
But you never left a trace
Look at you
You think you are hanging touch
But you saw the lines on an old mans face
In Mississauga
Mississauga
Where the wind breaks your
Woken in the cold
On the lake shore of
Mississauga
Mississauga
Where the wind breaks your
Waiting in the cold
On the lake shore of
Mississauga
Oh, Mississauga
