Alberta Bound Lyrics - Singles - Gordon Lightfoot

Oh, the Prairie lights are burnin' bright 

The Chinook wind is movin' in 

Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound 

Though I've done the best I could 

My old luck ain't been so good and 

Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound 

No one-eyed man could ever 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 somethin' 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 

A written guarantee to make you 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
