lyrics

They say that it's a two day drive,
But you can make it in one if you try.
Took the day to get to Rocky Harbour
Making good time, got a few more hours.
I waved to the scare-crows
On the farms on the side of the road.
Stopped into a diner and gas station,
got a coffee and a conversation.

Don't get too lonely,
On the road to St. Anthony.

Well, It gets colder up here,
Gets dark early this time of year.
October orange and November blue,
Haunted by a harvest moon.
Past the twisted tuckamore,
In the distance I could see Labrador.
Step out of your car,
and you know just how far you are.

Forget about the city,
On the road to St. Anthony.

Like a branch of driftwood,
Keep rolling to the road.
When you climb up to the barrens,
You’re almost there if you keep steering.
There, at the end of the line,
You can find a lighthouse and look behind
And by this time, your road
Is covered in snow, so take it slowly

Drive across this country,
And forget about the city,
And don't get too lonely,
On the road to St. Anthony.
