[Verse 1] Sunrise on the 401 Brake lights blinking red A Tim cup in the cup holder And a pie face in my head Jane and Finch to Union Past towers, brick, and snow Everybody's on their way Nobody lets it show [Pre-Chorus] And the day keeps rolling Like a steel wheel song If you know these roads You know where you belong [Chorus] GTA, hold me close GTA, I know your roads From Mississauga rain To the Don Valley glow GTA, hold me close GTA, I know your roads We all wind up Where the lake wind blows [Verse 2] Down by the farmer's market Peaches in a paper bag Kids in Raptors jerseys Cutting through the traffic jam A cousin in Brampton A friend in Scarborough too Same old winter on our boots Same old sky in blue [Pre-Chorus] And the trains keep humming Past the split-level yards If you’ve got a name here You’ve got a patch of heart [Chorus] GTA, hold me close GTA, I know your roads From Mississauga rain To the Don Valley glow GTA, hold me close GTA, I know your roads We all wind up Where the lake wind blows [Bridge] I’ve seen midnight on the subway Seen the first flakes pile slow Seen the whole city leaning When the southbound winds blow From Oakville to Pickering You can hear it start to sing A million little borrowed lives And the bells from Humber Bridge [Final Chorus] GTA, hold me close GTA, I know your roads From Mississauga rain To the Don Valley glow GTA, hold me close GTA, I know your roads We all wind up Where the lake wind blows [Guitar Tag] Hold me close I know your roads
