Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pack your briefcase, check the map tonight
Beyond your metro zone, the rules align
Client meetings past the city's edge
Training sessions where you pledge
Every kilometer counts when business calls your name

[Chorus]
Outside the metro, deduct it all
Conference badges and contract calls
Client visits, training days
Professional development pays
Remember the boundary, cross that line
Travel expenses become mine

[Verse 2]
Downtown office to suburban sprawl
Doesn't qualify, that's not the call
But fly to Calgary for industry shows
Or drive to Windsor where opportunity grows
Geographic distance makes the difference clear

[Chorus]
Outside the metro, deduct it all
Conference badges and contract calls
Client visits, training days
Professional development pays
Remember the boundary, cross that line
Travel expenses become mine

[Bridge]
Business development on foreign soil
Hotel receipts from professional toil
Negotiation tables miles away
Turn your travel into tax-free pay

[Verse 3]
Five categories etched in stone
Client sites in distant zones
Conferences expanding minds
Training sessions of all kinds
Contract talks beyond your town
Write those travel costs down

[Outro]
Metropolitan limits set you free
Cross that border, claim the fee
Business travel, pure and true
Those deductions wait for you
