I'm 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      I have lost my way   But I hear tell   About a heaven in Alberta   Where they've got all hell for a basement      My words are like a rope   That's wrapped around my throat   Wash my mouth with soap   For words unfit to quote      I have lost my way   But I hear tell   About a heaven in Alberta   Where they've got all hell for a basement   I have lost my way   But I hear tell   About a heaven in Alberta   Where they've got all hell for a basement      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      If I have lost my way   Cause I hear tell   About a heaven in Alberta   Where they've got all hell for a basement      Yeah, I have lost my way   But I hear tell   About a heaven in Alberta   Where they've got all hell for a basement
