Oh, the prairie lights are burnin' bright, the Chinook wind is movin' in
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
Though I've done the best I could my old luck ain't been so good
And tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound

No one-eyed man could e'er forget the Rocky Mountain sunset
It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound
I long to see my next of kin to know what kinda shape they're in
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound

(Alberta bound, Alberta bound)
(It's good to be Alberta bound)
(Alberta bound, Alberta bound)
(It's good to be Alberta bound)

(Alberta bound, Alberta bound)
(It's good to be Alberta bound)
(Alberta bound, Alberta bound)
(It's good to be Alberta bound)

Oh, the skyline of Toronto is somethin' you'll get onto
But they say you got to live there for a while
And if you got the money you can get yourself a honey
With a written guarantee to make you smile

But it's snowin' in the city and the streets are brown and gritty
And I know there's pretty girls all over town
But they never seem to find me and the one I left behind me
Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound

(Alberta bound, Alberta bound)
(It's good to be Alberta bound)
(Alberta bound, Alberta bound)
(It's good to be Alberta bound)
(It's good to be Alberta bound)
