lyrics

Living In Alberta
Dave Gunning/ Jim Dorie

I thought I'd leave for a year or two make some money and return to you But outside the darkness passes by another shift bus morning ride The icy fog horizon line not part of nature's grand design The flare stack makes you think it's dawn long before the sun

I'm living in Alberta miles away from everything I know
I'm living in Alberta dying to get back home dying to get back home

I used to walk along the beach to feel the sand beneath my feet But out here there's no ocean waves you wouldn't hear them anyway These grains of sand don't wash and roll they're heavy black and fused
with oil
100 tons in every load on one never ending road

I'm living in Alberta miles away from everything I know
I'm living in Alberta dying to get back home dying to get back home

Now I've made a lot of friends out here but it's not where I belong And Alberta's she's been good to me I'll miss her when I'm gone

But I'll know when the tide is in I'll feel your breath upon my skin Sitting by the fire again singin' to your ocean I know I'll miss the Northern lights but not those minus forty nights And if someone sings a Ron Hynes song we'll know every word
