A dually diesel pullin' hard with a horse trailer in tow,
Montana side of sweet grass and I'm-a headed home,
Trophy buckles and whiskey bottles and a worn out saddle horn,
Bareback riders and teamropers, a-huskin' taber corn
Well, the roads get better every time I cross north of Forty-Nine,
Well I tip my hat and it's good to be back across the Medicine line.
Hurtin' Albertan with nothin' more to lose,
Too much oil money, not enough booze,
East of the Rockies, and west of the rest,
I do my best to do my damnedest, and that’s just about all I guess.
Well them windy B.C. mountain passes 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 Chilcotin buckaroos, they sure know how to ride,
Well the roads get better every time I cross that British Columbia line,
And I tip my hat and it's good to be back down off the Kickin' Horse line.
Hurtin' Albertan with nothing more to lose,
Too much oil money, not enough booze,
East of the Rockies, and west of the rest,
Do my best to do my damnedest, and that’s just about all I guess.
Well, Saskabush is pretty, yup, she's pretty flat,
And Lord knows I'm a prairie boy so I’m pretty used to that,
But farmers facin' off with gophers, man, it ain’t the same,
As bein' home at the Saddledome for the Oilers at the Flames,
Well, the roads get better every time I cross that Saskatchewan line,
And I tip my hat and it's good to be back on Mountain Standard Time.
Hurtin' Albertan with nothing more to lose,
Too much oil money, never enough booze,
East of the Rockies, and west of the rest,
Do my best to do my damnedest, and that’s just about all I guess.
The Bandelier Brewing Company is proud to host performers on their stage, and visiting musicians are always welcome. Tonight, in a much requested encore performance, meeting up from Cookeville, Tennessee and Calgary, Alberta, are well known country duo, Ryman Thomas and the Hurtin' Albertan, singing Marcus' signature song.

Another astonishing commission from
streambgn. I wanted something with his country singer horse character, Ryman, and he was more than kind enough to oblige. Thank you so much!
