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
