[Chorus]
I don't wanna stop in Manitoba 'cause I don't wanna step outside
Don't wanna plant my feet down in you're hometown ground, just wanna ride through in my ride
I'm as fragile as a flower in this prairie province of yours
So I'll pluck myself up 'cause I don't wanna get stuck to weather another storm
[Verse 1]
Last time I did stand on this flattened land, we were standing hand-in-hand
On busy city roads and vegetable rows and we spoke of partnered plans
I still believe in the dreams that we had schemed, I'm still holding tight to you
I never wanted to move on, which is why I gotta' movе on through
[Chorus]
I don't wanna stop in Manitoba 'cause I don't wanna step outside
Don't wanna plant my feet down in you'rе hometown ground, just wanna ride through in my ride
I'm as fragile as a flower in this prairie province of yours
So I'll pluck myself up 'cause I don't wanna get stuck to weather another storm
[Verse 2]
Off on another freeway, your legend's left unclear
But your memory's strong and it lingers on my map of yesteryear
I'm a sucker for nostalgia, a romantic memory hoarder
I'm driving and crying and biding my time 'til I reach the Ontarian border
[Chorus]
I don't wanna stop in Manitoba 'cause I don't wanna step outside
Don't wanna plant my feet down in you're hometown ground, just wanna ride through in my ride
I'm as fragile as a flower in this prairie province of yours
So I'll pluck myself up 'cause I don't wanna get stuck to weather another storm
[Bridge]
My engine's overheating, my gas is getting low
I'll push this brave old Wagoneer as far as it'll go
[Chorus]
I don't wanna stop in Manitoba 'cause I don't wanna step outside
Don't wanna plant my feet down in you're hometown ground, just wanna ride through in my ride
I'm as fragile as a flower in this prairie province of yours
So I'll pluck myself up 'cause I don't wanna get stuck to weather another storm
[Outro]
I don't wanna stop in Manitoba
'Cause to me it’ll always be yours
