Well, my hair was blowing all wild and free
The sunlight shone extraordinarily
I paid my dues and I've said my piece
I've had my fill of poison berries
The world was out there waiting just for me
In West Gwillimbury (Gwillimbury)
All the grass grew up to my eyelids there
The clouds all bathed in blue amazing
I tripped on over the thorns and stared
At cows of distant farms a-grazing
Them cows were out there milking it for free
In West Gwillimbury
Out in the country
Get back down to earth
Sipping a coffee sitting down, a first
I swear I'll never ruin another shirt
The ghost of childhood waiting up for me
In West Gwillimbury
When my life's becoming all work, no play
When nature's son has lost its Mother
I'll slip the noose of this old rat race
To sing my song on a porch swing, brother
The world is out there waiting just for me
In West Gwillimbury (Gwillimbury)
All the fields are out there swaying merrily
In West Gwillimbury (Gwillimbury)
Gwillimbury
