Alberta Bound, ©1972 by Gordon Lightfoot Oh the prairie lights are burning bright The Chinook wind is a-moving in Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound Though I've done the best I could My old luck ain't been so good Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound No one I've met could e'er forget The Rocky Mountain sunset It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound I long to see my next of kin To know what kind of shape they're in Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound Oh the skyline of Toronto Is something you'll get onto But they say you've got to live there for a while And if you got the money You can get yourself a honey With a written guarantee to make ya smile But it's snowin' in the city And the streets and brown and gritty And I know there's pretty girls all over town But they never seem to find me And the one I left behind me Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound Alberta bound, Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound It's good to be Alberta bound
