i've been a roughneck in alberta

and driving these roads alone

i knew it when i heard you

i'm making my way back home

i knew it when i hurt you

i'd be driving these roads alone

i've been a roughneck in alberta

now i'm making my way back home

i curse myself for dreaming of happiness and wealth

just to take the edge off baby drink one more for help

so when the whistle blows

i'm coming oh oh i'm coming home

oh oh i'm coming home

i'm coming home

regret is my final burden

sent my father on his dying bed

i'd trade it all for one last call

say baby i'm coming home

don't worry about the money son

cause you're never gonna have enough

but you'll never regret a day of your life

if you live your life for love

so when the whistle blows

i'm coming oh oh i'm coming home

oh oh i'm coming home oh

oh

home

i'm coming home

i knew it when i heard you

i've been driving these roads alone

i've been a rock neck in alberta

now i'm making my way back home

i'm coming home

i'm coming

i'm coming home

i'm coming home

i'm coming home

i'm coming home

i'm coming home

i'm coming home
