Alberta

I walked out on a mornin' fair
Those Rocky Mountains shinin'
The shadows drift on frost-covered hills
Colors on golden tails
Crystal rivers through the valley ran
No one's ever owned me
It's the first time that ever I've been claimed
Alberta is her name

I sat down and I wrote to you
I said, "You should be comin'
You're never gonna see a sky so blue
Drapes of green in the northern sky
Wave like flags as the stars dance by"
Never thought I'd say it
She stole my heart and it's easy to explain
Alberta is her name

The word I got from you
You said you won't be comin'
For you back home, the skies are plenty blue
Emerald hills and the rocky shore
Are all you need and want, no more
But you learned to love another
Our hearts are true, but if we must lay blame
Alberta is her name

And to you, who wander far
Who search for rest and comfort
'Cause you can find no soul, that's where you are
Keep your eyes wide, and remember me
This ain't the place I thought I'd be
But that's how it goes with romance
A breath of her and you'll never be the same
Alberta is her name
Alberta is her name
