Lost between Moose Jaw and Montréal

I traded my car for a horse

I'll send you postcards

Between Alberta and Quebec

Life's beautiful but not perfect

Everybody complains when it's freezing

Four thousand kilometers on the Trans-Canada

Hi, goodbye, see you next time

Past Ontario, nothing stops us anymore

Not even the rain, the snow or the storms

From Percé Rock all the way to Victoria

We'll stop to gas up in Regina

From New Brunswick all the way to Vancouver

One side it's hot and on the other it's winter

We miss the Expos and the Nordiques

I don't really like talking politics

I remember but we forget fast

French Canadian

I found peace on top of the Rockies

Far from the traffic on Maisonneuve Street

My butt parked in an arena

Listening to O Canada!

Lost between Moose Jaw and Montréal

I traded my car for a horse

I'll send you postcards

In Canada

Between Alberta and Quebec

Life's beautiful but not perfect

Everybody complains when it's freezing

When you live in Canada

Olé, olé olé olé, olé olé

We pedaled for kilometers

We gave everything for the life we dream of

Not much downtime, I saw the drop

From Kelowna to Yellowknife

Never slowed down, pass me the light

I need listening, not your help

Change the sequence

Calgary's dense

Downtown I'm down to ride

I've got both feet in the kitchen

Deerfoot Trail man, I'm livin'

I write lyrics man, I levitate

I know no limit

I ain't scared of being copied

Even Winnipeg, Night of the Long Knives

Just a short flight and I'm in Toronto

I don't like the Leafs but you know what they say

The Stanley Cup they won't get anytime soon

Lost between Moose Jaw and Montréal

I traded my car for a horse

I'll send you postcards

In Canada

Between Alberta and Quebec

Life's beautiful but not perfect

Everybody complains when it's freezing

When you live in Canada

Olé, olé olé olé, olé olé

SONG MEANING

“Au Canada” feels like a postcard set to music, inviting us on a coast-to-coast road trip through the Great White North. Jo and Lazy name-drop towns, highways, and hockey teams while laughing at the endless complaints about the cold. From trading a car for a horse to singing “Ô Canada” in an arena, the lyrics paint a picture of freedom, friendly sarcasm, and the mix of French and English that colors daily life. The song celebrates wide-open prairie skies, Rocky Mountain peaks, and the quirky pride that makes Canadians dream big even when it’s frette outside.

Under the playful surface lies a deeper love letter to identity and resilience. Whether reminiscing about the lost Expos and Nordiques, dodging Toronto traffic, or finding peace at the top of the Rockies, the artists remind us that perfection is not required for life to be beautiful. By stringing together provinces and memories like beads on the Trans-Canada Highway, “Au Canada” turns every kilometer into a reminder that distance, weather, and politics cannot stop the spirit of a wandering, bilingual heart.
