I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898 And I rode near all my life on a ranch near Devil's Gate And I seen this world around me bend and flip and change Hey it feels like rain -- it's a thundercloud I could be a coward but I've seen two world wars And I lost my son Virgil -- my Korean reward And my Lucy died last summer and you ask me if I cry Hell, I'll show you tears -- they're all over this ground They're falling from these Blue Alberta Skies Chorus: But I'm going to ride forever You can't keep horsemen in a cage Should the angels call, well it's only then I might pull in the reins Now, they tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I am blind They took my drivers license, this house ain't far behind I say: jump back all you big suits you got something wrong Cause I ain't gone, no I ain't gone I am still breathing, I still have my pride And I have my memories -- your life it never dies Like the wind that blows in thunder, like the stallion on the fly I got it all and I'm standing tall Underneath these Blue Alberta Skies (chorus repeat) Now I say to all you old men: don't let yourself be broke If you think the worlds gone crazy and it's scratching at your throat It's time to dust off that old saddle, get it on a horse Kick up your spurs, we're gonna run like stink We're gonna tear across these Blue Alberta Skies We're gonna ride forever You can't keep horsemen in a cage Should the angels call, Well it's only then we might pull in the reins |
