This song is about Saskatoon, Saskatchewan he explains it on the Personal File album about how him and a friend wrote it while driving back from a show in Saskatoon

[babajii321]

Cool number, but what on earth inspired Johnny to write a song about Saskatoon, I wonder?

Eugene Hutz (from Gogol Bordello) played and sang this song at the Gogol Bordello concert in Saskatoon on October 4, 2009. It was quite good and the crowd went wild.

[clm1224]

Saskatoon , Saskatchewan,CANADA.....Right on Johnny.

[sotthapana]

I moved to Saskatoon recently for school and it's not a total dump in all areas, but it's a lot more "American" than what I'm used to. Much of the West side is a ghetto and everyone seems to drive an over-sized truck. People here are a little simpler than other parts of the country. They don't seem to know what good food is (the restaurants are terrible) and they don't give a rat's ass about the environment.

Looking forward to moving back to BC in a few years... LOL

[myfriendsfordinner]

@sotthapana okay, honey, Saskatoon is not American. And no, not much of the West side is ghetto, a few streets. And everybody drives an over sized truck because all of the men work in the trades, where it's pretty much required to have one. You don't know a thing about Saskatoon, go back to BC.

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

@myfriendsfordinner Sorry to butt in, but Saskatoon is in America. Honest. Look it up.

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

@TheZekemeister Fop, is geography not taught in your schools? America is a Continent. Canada is a country(the largest)that occupies the northern portion of it. If you missed this bit of information at school, perhaps you should double-check any map or globe. ...just sayin'...

[yachtabaco]

@ThatsMrMoronToYou Lol, Canada was "British America" before it was "Canada" back in 1870 and beyond. And i i m an American. John wrote the song with not only his friend, but with the one and only Johnny Horton, who happened to be one of his best friends..

[bellgardens53]

Pretty cool Cash tune here.

[micksorjr]

I have this song in my Collection,but i haven't heard it for years, So thank's to who ever posted it
