50 Clicks from Winnipeg

Music and Lyrics David Storey – SOCAN June 2017

Killed a man in lillouet
He stole my girl and I couldn’t handle it
I get angry when I drink
There was blood everywhere
So I lit on outa there
I need time to think

Now I’m 50 clicks from Winnipeg
I need a drink and my whole-body aches
Demons rattle round my brain but I’ll keep rolling
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going

Engine blew in Salmon Arm
Stole a car and kept movin on
There ain’t no happy endings for me
When you kill a man you take everything
All he’s got all he’ll ever bring
Now my head is clear I see

I’m 50 clicks from Winnipeg
I need a drink and my whole body aches
Demons rattle round my brain but I’ll keep rolling
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going

The drink snuck in and stole my soul
Now I’m chasing the devil down a whole
The old man warned me about the family curse
It has taken me from bad to worse.

I’m 50 clicks from Winnipeg
I need a drink and my whole body aches
Demons rattle round my brain but I’ll keep rolling
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going
