See that girl with the rocky smile
Short mini skirt at the quarter mile
She's a rose oh she's such a thorny girl

Her fingertips know just where to land
Got my number written on her hand
Her skin is cool and I wanna drink her in

Her lips are stained in summer time
From wildberries and import wine
She thinks she's staked her claim and I hear her screaming out my name

Ah ah ah Alberta
Ah ah ah I heard ya
Ah ah ah Alberta, baby
You say we're meant to be
And I can never be free

I get the urge to run away
When I can't find something new to say
But she don't wanna let me go

(I said) I know the night is hard on you
When cold and darkness bring the blues
But you can't just keep me as your pet

Told you I was goin’ west
Find a new someone to keep life fresh
You slapped me, said "don't leave"
"You're sure to come back when you miss me"

Ah ah ah Alberta
Ah ah ah I heard ya
Ah ah ah Alberta, baby
You say we're meant to be
And I can never be

How did I get so far? (So far away from you?)
You're always up to someone new,
And I feel like a fool

Oh how did I get so far away from
Oh how did I get so far away from
You
