Blue Rodeo – The Opening Act

Blue Rodeo – The Opening Act Lyrics

Artist: Blue Rodeo
Song: The Opening Act

Thunder bay must have been a big mess
Night bus to Regina, I’m not at my best
I’m trying to play straight, but I come undone
No, I can’t connect, I’m missing the mark

Second night of the tour and I’m having second thoughts
On this road headed west
Winnipeg on a Friday night
Well, it’s cold to the bone so I’m gonna get high

Starting to remember the words and the reason why
Saskatoon is colder yet
But I’m finally getting into the set
I know this is what I do, but sometimes I forget

And the opening act was a nice surprise
I couldn’t get her name straight, maybe I’m too high
Many a mile to nowhere, doing the same old thing
So I’ll sing my song and see

What tomorrow brings
In Calgary, I broke a spoke
I’m forgetting all the words, try to make it a joke
Feeling kinda low but you make it work

Edmonton’s a beautiful drive
See the northern lights pull over for a while
Oh, the silence is nice
Then it’s over the mountains to the rainy city

And the Orpheum is oh so pretty
Always a party in Vancouver town
But I’m up at dawn to get the first ferry
Sleeping on the bus, feeling weary

Yeah, I’m starting to rust
And the opening act was a nice surprise
I couldn’t get her name straight, maybe I’m too high
Many a mile to nowhere, doing the same old thing

So I’ll sing my song and see
What tomorrow brings
Victoria airport on three hours sleep
I’m standing in line asleep on my feet

And I bounce in my seat all the way to YVR
And when I get home I should be tired
But my body’s burnt, my brain is wired
And I sing this song all night long

And the opening act was a nice surprise
I couldn’t get her name straight, maybe I’m too high
Many a mile to nowhere, doing the same old thing
So I’ll sing my song and see

Yeah, I’ll sing my song and see
Yeah, I’ll sing my song and see
What tomorrow brings
