Lyrics
Well I got my welding tickets
Set out on the road
To a place I never heard of
About two years ago
I wonder what theyโre doing
Back home in Sunnybrae?
Iโm in Vermilion River
Theyโre a million miles away
What would they say if I went back empty handed?
They wonโt know who I am for all I know
But I know they'd compare me to my brothers
And laugh behind my back if I went home
I tried my hand at farming and on the oil fields
Hell Iโve done my share of drinking to forget about how I feel
Once there was a lady, she set my heart in flames
Iโm in Vermilion River, sheโs a million miles away
What would she say if I went back empty handed?
She has another man for all I know
But I know, sheโd compare me to her lovers
And pretend we never met if I went home
Before I go I have to make a confession
Between me, you, Jesus and the wall
I burnt down a house, and no one knows about it
So now Vermilion River is my home
