(Verse 1) Hello, my name is Trent McPherson and I've been all round I've been to the hat, drum heller and back I've been to fort Mac, rosebud and that massive attack I've been to Clearview and White Court I've been all around these Alberta parts And looking forward to seeing you down at the Stampy grounds (Chorus) From the iron in the north to the prairie wind’s blow Where the pumpjacks dance and the golden wheat grows It’s a roughneck life, silver, sweat, and coal With the spirit of the Rockies deep in my soul Yeah, we’re Alberta bound, where the wild hearts run Workin’ through the frost ‘til the job is all done. (Verse 2) I’ve seen the flares light up the midnight sky In the middle of nowhere while the coyotes cry Living on coffee and a heavy-duty dream Keeping that pressure in the middle of the steam Through the mud and the muskeg, we pay our dues With grease on our hands and the highway blues. (Chorus) From the iron in the north to the prairie wind’s blow Where the pumpjacks dance and the golden wheat grows It’s a roughneck life, silver, sweat, and coal With the spirit of the Rockies deep in my soul Yeah, we’re Alberta bound, where the wild hearts run Workin’ through the frost ‘til the job is all done. (Bridge) When the rigs shut down and the sun starts to set We trade the hard hats for the best times yet From the Red Deer river to the city lights’ glow There’s a brotherhood here that only we know. (Guitar Solo / Harmonica Outro) (Outro) Yeah, I’ve been to the hat and the valley of bones Finding my way back to the place I call home See you at the Stampy, where the dust starts to rise Under the watch of those big Alberta skies. See you down at the grounds... See you there.
