Pick up Our Boots

The river thaws below
The city stores the snow from winter storms
But the mercury's on the rise
Soon it will be time to let her go

Toboggans put away
Reminds me of the days when we'd still hope
That the clocks would gain an hour
And our t-shirt suntans proudly start to grow

We'll pick up our boots
Run beside the river on those tracks we took
When we decide to giv'er
In our hearts we know
Alberta is the place that we'll call home

Our breath would fill the air
Covered hands prepared to fight the cold
High River's where we'd start
The vein that bled the heart of all we know

The busker battles strong
Fingerless mittens to make a chord
Then I'll follow 82
It leads me back to you when I'm alone

We'll pick up our boots
Run beside the river on those tracks we took
When we decide to giv'er
In our hearts we know
Alberta is the place that we'll call home

Alberta is the place that we'd call home
Alberta is the place
