Alberta Skies

Freight train headed east along the river
Cold water running clear and blue
Night is falling fast and the road keeps winding on
Two hundred miles before the day is through

The mountains rise to greet me like an old friend
I see them every time I close my eyes
If I could lay me down this is where I’d like to stay
Underneath the big Alberta skies

Chorus:
Take me to the mountains
Set me free to fly
Closer to heaven than I’ve ever been
Underneath the big Alberta skies

Hear the train whistle in the canyon
Hear the wind whisper through the pines
Listen to the sound of dancing water
Always playing softly in my mind

Chorus

Summer days that seem to last forever
Music of the mountains fills the night
Oh I feel so high I could almost touch the moon
Hanging in that big Alberta sky

Chorus
Underneath the big Alberta skies
