Murray McLauchlan - Sayonara Maverick lyrics

My eyes were all wrong for a cowboy Sometimes they were black and blue And how I come to this prairie town Is something that I never knew A kid in love with the jukebox Watchin' the Alberta sky Never suspected a pain so deep That all of the tears had dried. Sayonara, all the bad times You loved this Maverick so true Mama and daddy you never pa**ed on The wrong that was done to you My mother and father were born On the western Canadian shore But when the bombs fell on Pearl Harbour That didn't matter no more And all that they had was just taken No bill of sale and no deal And all that they had was each other And workin' another man's field Sayonara, all the bad times You loved this Maverick so true Mama and daddy you never pa**ed on The wrong that was done to you Now the war is a long distant memory It's pa**ed like a winter snow And all of those years my folks raised me There was no place for hatred to grow And feeling like I don't belong here Is a feeling that I've never known I feel the same breath on my face as you do Whenever Alberta winds blow. Sayonara, all the bad times You loved this Maverick so true Mama and daddy you never pa**ed on The wrong that was done to you
