Pick up Our Boots

The river thaws below

The city stores the snow from winter storms

But the mercury's on the rise

Soon it will be time to let her go

Toboggans put away

Reminds me of the days when we'd still hope

That the clocks would gain an hour

And our t-shirt suntans proudly start to grow

We'll pick up our boots

Run beside the river on those tracks we took

When we decide to giv'er

In our hearts we know

Alberta is the place that we'll call home

Our breath would fill the air

Covered hands prepared to fight the cold

High River's where we'd start

The vein that bled the heart of all we know

The busker battles strong

Fingerless mittens to make a chord

Then I'll follow 82

It leads me back to you when I'm alone

We'll pick up our boots

Run beside the river on those tracks we took

When we decide to giv'er

In our hearts we know

Alberta is the place that we'll call home

Alberta is the place that we'd call home

Alberta is the place
