  Crossed the border late at night  Crossed the border late at night
7  And it was high stakes till he saw the Great Lakes   And it was high stakes until he saw the Great Lakes 7
  And he felt the cold wind bite  And he felt the cold wind bite
      
  Going where I can't be found  Going where I can't be found
  And I won't be coming 'round  And I won't be coming 'round

  He's been teaching at the high school, learning the game  He's been teaching at the high school, learning the game
  In Thunder Bay we're all the same  In Thunder Bay we're all the same
  He's one of us, he has our trust  He's one of us, he has our trust
  But there's no going back once the line is crossed  But there's no going back once the line is crossed

  And I hope you understand when I refuse  And I hope you understand when I refuse
  I'm going North with my point of view  I'm going North with my point of view
  And I'm never gonna think the same as you  And I'm never gonna think the same as you
