Colter Wall - Manitoba Man Lyrics






I'm ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score
There's a Manitoba man behind the fillin' station store
Man, he's got stuff that leaves every limb singin' for more
So I'm ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score

My good gal stood by me and I know she's the light of my life
But if I am to be truthful, I don't feel alive 'til it's night
When the hours I'm alone in the dark are the only in sight
But my good gal stood by me and I know she's the light of my life

But my time is past due and I ought to be movin' along
I've been kickin' my feet, wanderin' these streets for too long
My good gal, she tells me she's dreamin' of raisin' a son
But my time is past due, I ought to be movin' along

I reckon I'll make one last stop before I go
He's waitin' for me at the pumps, surely he knows
That twenty-four hours have passed since I last powdered my nose
So I reckon I'll make one last stop before I go

Colter Wall Manitoba Man Comments
  1. G.... H....

    Discovered this man and his music about a year ago. When is he coming to Montreal? We need this kind of deep soulful music, miss Townes Van Zandt and the like and Colter is the one that truly is today's folk master.


    Stop touring the U.S. and love us poor eastern canadians, man, bless ya!

  2. m.... v....

    Funny when folks grouch about "kids these days" and their poor taste in music, while listening to this great music played by an 22 year old bloke

  3. G.... N....

    It's sad how hard it is to find country like this. I grew up listening to 90's country and forgot about country for about 20 years or so. I recently decided I wanted to find some good new country but I wanted some gritty stuff... and NOTHING came up on youtube. If it weren't for this man, I would think not a single modern western music artist is worth listening to. Any other suggestions since I absolutely love this guy?

    Corb Lund.

    If Johnny Cash and Chris Ledoux could have a baby it would be Colter Wall

  7. J.... L....

    Can't wait to see you at Brown's island

  8. b.... ....

    If he's not an illegitimate Canadian son of Johnny Cash then my ears are as broken as this mans soul.

    b.... ....

    I like his voice but every song is way too slow and at times his guitar sounds out of tune ....ouch .

    b.... ....

    Jake M strange, the gritty sound and slow speed is precisely what I love about this guy

    b.... ....

    Good N' Dead same, if you don’t like slow music why even listen to him lmao

  9. F.... W....

    He sounds just like Johnny Cash.

    F.... W....

    I agree, he definitely does.

    F.... W....

    His firstalbum was killer too. more raw, unrefined vocals... And he plays the kick drum while he plays guitar and sings 👍

  10. m.... L....

    So thankful I got to see you live in Vancouver!

  11. C.... C....

  13. D.... E....

    D.... E....

    D.... E....

    D.... E....

    D.... E....

    I’m 55. I’ve listened to much classic music. Country especially. This motherfucker is a huge talent. No, that’s understating it. He’s writing shit like this while In his early twenties. He’s one of the best singer / songwriters right now on the planet. That ain’t hyperbole.
