	作曲 : Roberts
	He was born in a small town
	And he was given every reason to stay
	Hallelujah,
	Mississippi
	Postcard living no sign of decay
	Till Vietnam moved next door
	Then Hallelujah was off to war
	In the dream he couldn't finish the deed
	He didn't smoke any weed so why leave?
	Going where
	I can't be found
	And I won't be coming 'round
	His father,
	Tom, said, "You better sign onYou'd better take up your gun and fightI got nothing against them Viet CongWhat did they do so wrong and why am I right?"
	He's on his way to
	Thunder Bay
	Crossed the border late at night
	And it was high stakes till he saw the
	Great Lakes
	And he felt the cold wind bite
	Going where
	I can't be found
	And I won't be coming 'round
	No, I'm an
	American on the
	Canadian shield
	And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields
	It gets cold but you feel so good
	To be a stranger in town and you're understood
	Missing his home
	He would wake up in a cold sweat
	And pick up the phone and hope
	That Tom found a way to forget
	He's been teaching at the high school, learning the game
	In Thunder
	Bay we're all the same
	He's one of us, he has our trust
	But there's no going back once the line is crossed
	I'm an American on the
	Canadian shield
	And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields
	It gets cold but you feel so good
	To be a stranger in town and you're understood
	You can't ask what you're asking me to do
	And I hope you understand when
	I refuseI'm going
	North with my point of view
	And I'm never gonna think the same as you
	And I'm where
	I can't be found
	And I won't be coming 'round
	No, I'm an
	American on the
	Canadian shield
	And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields
	It gets cold but you feel so good to be a stranger in town
	And you're understood
