Alberta Bones

Well I’m fighin’ to get back to the first time
The feel of the very first hit
And I’ve tried to get by with the brush of a high
But I keep comin’ short of it
I should gas up and go seek my fortune but my four tires are frozen in place
Petrified here with a spliff and a beer
And the memory of your pretty face

Chorus:
Won’t you lay down and die right beside me?
If you find me beneath all this snow
You can search for my bones in Alberta
It’s the last place that I’ll ever know
Well, you left me for dead in Grande Prairie
Ribs stickin’ out of my skin
Starved and alone, chilled to the bone
And appalled at the shape that I was in

Chorus:
Won’t you lay down and die right beside me?
If you find me beneath all this snow
You can search for my bones in Alberta
It’s the last place that I’ll ever know
It’s the last place that I’ll ever know
Gas up. Get on down
Well, the gin fills a hole on the inside
Where goodbye ran a nail through my chest
Slow and melodic. Destruction methodic
It’s the only way I’ll ever rest
I should gas up and go seek my fortune but my four tires are frozen in place
Petrified here with a spliff and a beer
And the memory of your pretty face

Chorus:
Won’t you lay down and die right beside me?
If you find me beneath all this snow
You can search for my bones in Alberta
It’s the last place that I’ll ever know
Won’t you lay down and die right beside me?
If you find me beneath all this god damned snow
You can search for my bones in Alberta
It’s the last place that I’ll ever know
It’s the last place that I’ll ever know
This is the last place that I’ll ever know
The last place I’ll ever know
