Lyrics:

(G. Johnson/P. Ballantyne)



I'm a workin' man

But I ain't worked for a while

Like some old tin can

From the bottom of the pile



I have lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement



My words are like a rope

That's wrapped around my throat

Wash my mouth with soap

For words unfit to quote



I have lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement



I have lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement



And now I'm free to go

But time cannot remove

The only life I know

Now only time will prove

Yes only time will prove



If I have lost my way

'Cause I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement



Yeah, I lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement
