Maple Song Lyrics

You tell me that the maples are dying

That's why they haven't changed colour

You say there's something going around

And it'll kill off all the others

But I'll take that leaf

Whether it's red or it's brown

I'll tattoo it to my shoulder

As I head out of town

So I'll keep driving

Past the borders of home

I'll keep stretching out my boundaries

To see where I belong

I keep your penny in my pocket

Where the copper maple never dies

You say the caterpillar's come

And eaten all of the leaves

And there's no beauty in the butterfly

If it kills all it sees

And it could be years

'Til I come back to you

I don't know when I'll return

But it won't be soon

So I'll keep driving

Past the borders of home

I'll keep stretching out my boundaries

To see where I belong

I keep your penny in my pocket

Where the copper maple never dies

And you can hate me for deserting

To the red white and blue

But when I said it was me

I hope you know it was you

Still as I cross the 49

I leave a part of me behind

I lose me when I leave you

So I'll keep driving

Past the borders of home

I'll keep stretching out my boundaries

To see where I belong

I keep your penny in my pocket

Where the copper maple never dies

So I'll keep driving

Past the borders of home

I'll keep stretching out my boundaries

To see where I belong

I keep your penny in my pocket

Where the copper maple never dies

So I'll keep driving

Past the borders of home

I'll keep stretching out my boundaries

To see where I belong

I keep your penny in my pocket

Where the copper maple never dies
