CB Radio Intro

Dually diesel pulling hard with a horse trailer in tow
Montana side of sweetgrass and I’m a headin’ home
Cattle pens and feed lots and a worn out saddle horn
Bronc Riders and team ropers huskin’ Taber corn
The roads get better every time I cross North of fourty-nine
I tip my hat and it’s good to be back across the Medicine line

Chorus:
Hurtin’ Albertan with nothing more to loose
Too much oil money and not enough booze
East of the Rockies and West of the rest
I do my best to do my damndest and that’s about all I guess

CB Radio Intro

Them windy B.C. mountain roads finally flatten out
Hairpin turns and PST got my heart up in my throat
It’s hairy haulin’ horses up across the great divide
And them wild Chilkotin buckaroos they sure know how to ride
The roads get better every time I cross the British Columbia line
I tip my hat and it’s good to be back down off the Kicking Horse line

Chorus

CB Radio Intro


Saskabush is pretty, yup she’s pretty flat
I’m a prairie boy myself so I’m pretty used to that
But watching farmers battle gophers, man, it ain’t the same
As being home at the Saddledome for the Oilers at the flames
The roads get better every time I cross the Saskatchewan line
I tip my hat and it’s good to be back on mountain standard time

Chorus
