[Verse 1] I clock in before the sun Still feel behind by lunch Got a cart full of bad news At the till, that price tag punched Gas went up, then bread did too My wage just sits there stiff In the Great White north, I swear Even luck got a smaller gift [Pre-Chorus] Rent's got teeth in every town Bills come due like trains I keep countin' on my fingers And I still can't break the chain [Chorus] Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch It breaks my heart in half Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch I can't make a good one last (Just one more day) (Just one more pay) [Verse 2] At the grocery store in Calgary I stared at eggs and hoped A bag of chips and a gallon milk Got me cussin' in the cold My old truck eats half my check My coat's got patched-up seams Every little thing in Canada Costs more than it used to seem [Pre-Chorus] Rent's got teeth in every town Bills come due like trains I keep countin' on my fingers And I still can't break the chain [Chorus] Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch It breaks my heart in half Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch I can't make a good one last (Just one more day) (Just one more pay) [Bridge] Mama says, "Keep your head up, son" But hope don't fill the tank We laugh so we don't lose it all In a line outside the bank Still, I'll work, and I'll pray, and I'll ride Through the weather and the grind If the price of livin' keeps on risin' I'll keep fightin' one more time [Chorus] Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch It breaks my heart in half Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch I can't make a good one last (Just one more day) (Just one more pay) Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch But I’m still standin' tall Loonie won't stretch Loonie won't stretch Lord, it’s hard to have it all (Just one more day) (Just one more pay)
