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.
