Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I miss the Alberta sun
Yeah, I miss those days and I miss the fun
[Verse 2]
We were gonna drive the length of the continent
We were gonna build a house, we were gonna have kids
[Verse 3]
And I'm gonna sound harsh and I'm gonna sound cruel
But I'm gonna move on, like I know you will
[Verse 4]
Heavy pack and sweat on the brow
And I miss those days when I think on it now
Dusty roads, on for miles
Straight as an arrow and green like a trail
And you can wear me down, you can pick me up
There's a wound, screwed up rudder on a pickup truck
[Verse 5]
And I'm gonna sound harsh and I'm gonna sound cruel
But I'm gonna move on, like I know you will
[Verse 6]
And, baby, don't you wish me well, like a long-lost flame
Wish me well to come back again
Wish me well, like a long-lost flame
Wish me well to come back again
[Verse 7]
Pulled off the highway with the back of our necks
By and by, never knowin' what next
And the searin' heat, the sun was high
Down at the damn as the cars rushed by
And the cool of the water splashed on my face
We wet the towels to take on our way
[Verse 8]
And I'm gonna sound harsh and I'm gonna sound cruel
But I'm gonna move on, like I know you will
[Verse 9]
Baby, don't you wish me well, like a long-lost flame
Wish me well to come back again
Wish me well, like a long-lost flame
Wish me well to come back again
[Verse 10]
Wish me well
Wish me well to come back again
Wish me well
Wish me well to come back again
[Verse 11]
I miss the Alberta sun
Yeah, I miss those days and I miss the fun
We were gonna drive the length of the continent
We were gonna build a house, we were gonna have kids
[Verse 12]
And I'm gonna sound harsh and I'm gonna sound cruel
But I'm gonna move on, like I know you will
[Verse 13]
Baby, don't you wish me well, like a long-lost flame
Wish me well to come back again
Wish me well, like a long-lost flame
Wish me well to come back again
[Verse 14]
Wish me well
Wish me well to come back again
Wish me well
Wish me well to come back again
Wish me well to come back again
Wish me well to come back again
