J'avais un copain
Il s'appelait Joe
C'était presque un frère pour moi
On a grandi ensemble
Il habitait la ferme
La ferme juste à côté de la rivière
Un jour on en a eu marre de voir toujours la même forêt
Alors, alors on a décidé de partir
Pour voir ce qu'était une ville
Quand je dis une ville, je veux dire
Une vraie ville en béton
Et ça fait bien longtemps
Maintenant je voudrais revoir
Je voudrais revoir tout ce que j'ai quitté
Les champs, la rivière et ma forêt
Et... et Marie
Oui Marie
Qu'elle était belle, la jolie Marie !
Ça fait si longtemps, si longtemps
Mais voilà comment
Voilà comment l'histoire a commencé
On avait bien, Joe et moi, dix dollars chacun
Et l'adresse d'une ou deux filles
Dans un wagon à bestiaux, on a pris le train
Pour voir ce qu'était une ville
Pendant deux jours en roulant, on s'est préparé
Tout en se cachant sous la paille
Quand on l'a vue, ce fut comme un coup sur le nez
Elle nous a pris dans ses murailles
Pour ne pas être un étranger ici
Ce n'est qu'une question de prix
Les faux amours, les faux amis et le reste
Tout ça se paie en arrivant
Les dix dollars n'ont pas duré plus d'un repas
Les filles avaient changé d'adresse
Joe a failli se bagarrer deux ou trois fois
Pour son accent et pour le reste
Pour ne pas être un étranger ici
Ce n'est qu'une question de prix
Les faux amours, les faux amis et le reste
Tout ça se paie en arrivant
On avait bien, Joe et moi, dix dollars chacun
Et l'adresse d'une ou deux filles
Mais on n'a plus retrouvé le chemin
Et on s'est noyé dans la ville
Mais on n'a plus retrouvé le chemin
Et on s'est perdu dans la ville
La ville
Est-ce qu'un jour
Est-ce qu'un jour Dieu
J'aurais la chance de revoir
Près de la rivière, Marie ?
Est-ce qu'un jour j'aurais la chance d'avoir
Une fille un fils
Et de pouvoir me retrouver
Entre les arbres de ma forêt
Près de notre rivière ?
Ouais
Loin de cette ville
Surtout loin de cette ville
