about

This song was originally inspired after a nation wide solo tour and the feeling I had when I got back home to the prairies.

With everything that has happened in Fort McMurray it only makes sense to offer this track as an extension of the countless efforts of so many to assist in bringing home relief to this community.

We all live here, and I am inspired the generosity of spirit of this province.

ALL PROCEEDS to Red Cross for Fort McMurray fire relief.

lyrics

I fell in love across the true north strong and free
Heading west on the number one, listening to CKUA
Fields wave us home in their gold and green
It takes my breath
Like a Rocky Mountain silhouette

Wherever I go
It’s my home
Whenever I find myself on these Alberta roads
Under a prairie sky with a rocky mountain soul
Wherever I go
It’s my home

18 wheel chariots towing cattle down the yellow line
Summers spent painting fences out on the farm
Every mile’s paves another memory
The scent of the pines
Underneath those northern lights

Wherever I go
It’s my home
Whenever I find myself on these Alberta roads
Under a prairie sky with a rocky mountain soul
Wherever I go
It’s my home

Ohh
Hey! Let’s Go
Let’s take a ride on those Alberta Roads
Hey Lets drive beneath a starry sky
Across the hills and through the pines
C’mon let’s go for a ride

Wherever I go
It’s my home
Whenever I find myself on these Alberta roads
Under a prairie sky with a rocky mountain soul
Wherever I go
It’s my home
