Land Of Shining Mountains Lyrics - Singles - Ian Tyson

In the land of the long roads 

High, lonesome prairies 

Dreamin' of the springtime 

First crocus in the snow 

Coffee in a go-cup 

He's headed for the oil rig 

Land of shining mountains 

Big Alberta sky 

The old man in the castle 

Red deer and the battle 

Rivers in a dry land 

Feed the cities of the plain 

But nothin' lasts forever 

On the Great Divide 

Land of shining mountains 

Big Alberta Sky 

In the night, I have heard the thunder roll 

In my days, I have felt the wind and rain 

Like the cowboy said, I wish I'd seen the buffalo 

Maybe they'll come back again 

He's gonna get up early 

Try and make a dollar 

The only girl he wanted 

Took the Greyhound for the coast 

But she was bound for leavin' 

She will not forget him 

Or the land of shining mountains 

Big Alberta sky 

Land of shining mountains 

Big Alberta sky
