Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am a workin' man
But I ain't worked for a while
Like some old tin can
From the bottom of the pile
From the bottom of the pile
[Verse 2]
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
[Verse 3]
My words are like a rope
That's wrapped around my throat
Wash my mouth with soap
For words unfit to quote
[Verse 4]
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
[Verse 5]
And now I'm free to go
But time cannot remove
The only life I know
Now, only time will prove
Yes, only time will prove
[Verse 6]
If I have lost my way
'Cause I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
Yeah, I have lost my way
But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement
