Take Me to the Canyon Lyrics

Back in the mountains

Of the Canadian Shield

Lies an oasis of beauty

Fresh, warm and green

Mountains serene

Next to the big Gitchee Gumee

Riding the rails

Of the great ACR

Through the wilds and hill

Through history so great

We celebrate

The iron men and their will

Take me to the canyon

On that ACR line

Over mountains and streams

Through maple and pine

Take me to the canyon

It's where I want to be

The train whistle calls

To the place I feel free

You gotta ride the rails

To journey to that place

No trucks, busses or cars

It's an old rail line

So they take their sweet time

As nature paints the colours

Take me to the canyon

On that ACR line

Over mountains and streams

Through maple and pine

Take me to the canyon

It's where I want to be

The train whistle calls

To the place I feel free

The spirit of the land

Meets the spirit of the train

Magnificent scenes you'll pass by

Travel deep in the heart

Of the land we call home

It'll bring a tear to your eye

Take me to the canyon

On that ACR line

Over mountains and streams

Through maple and pine

Take me to the canyon

It's where I want to be

The train whistle calls

To the place I feel free
