Here I am in Marengo, Saskatchewan
The world looks big from here you know
And that's what I want

One pool, one pump and a cheap hotel
Are the only landmarks that I can tell in Marengo
At the centre of town

Three kids in the park stop to shoot the breeze
They're gettin out of this town before they get too deep
Down in Marengo, Saskatchewan

I talked to some folks in the bar
They said not many people even come this far
Just for God's sake Saskatchewan

She keeps puttin her coins in the slot
And her old man don't seem to care a hell of a lot
You know the straight grain on the elevator is set to fall
And in the big city they don't talk about a prairie town too much
If they talk about it at all

I fell asleep down in Marengo, Saskatchewan
The stars look big from here you know
so you can tell dear Marengo
I wish her well.
