lyrics

Alberta Gold
Dave Gunning/ Matt Andersen

We left for Alberta left the East coast
Followed the clouds running West
That highway was long worn by other fools
Fools like us I guess

I could have worked a job close to home
But never get far ahead
Now we're out here just long enough to pay off debt
But it hasn't happened yet

Alberta gold
It's a story we all know
Alberta gold Alberta gold
Dark black as coal

There's money in the trees cracks in the streets
The Devil's out on the town
He'll buy you drink and fill your cup
We're pulling his blood from the ground

Alberta gold
It's a story we all know
Alberta gold Alberta gold
Dark black as coal

There's no more boats left in the bay
No young cowboys home on the range

We've been going flat out on a three week stint
Working ourselves to the bone
We're going take a break just for a little while
Gonna catch our flights back home

Alberta gold
It's a story we all know
Alberta gold Alberta gold
Dark black as coal

There's no more boats left in the bay
And there's no young cowboys home on the range
