Land Of Shining Mountains

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
