Hey there neigbour where you heading?
Hey neighbour have you travelled many miles?
Neighbour said "I'm just heading west to the Rocky Mountain air"
"Oh hey neighbour, hey neighbour we can take you there"
Side of the road, cars rollin' by
We were layin' our heads down for night
Neighbour set up his tent, then he came right back around
Said "O hey neighbour, hey neighbour would you like to burn one down?"
"Are we gettin close to the prairies?
Are we gettin close to Calgary
I come from across the pond where countries are as big as your front lawn
And oh hey neighbour, hey neighbour I ain't ever driven this long"
"Youll know the prairies when you see 'em
And oh they're such a fine sight to see
People say theyre just too flat, people say there aint enough trees
But oh hey neighbour, hey neighbour the prairies is home to me
Neighbour asked us, "what is there to do
In the Alberta grasslands and sloughs?"
"Well you can howl with the coyotes, or just drive til the gas is gone
And oh hey neighbour, you might need some whisky to keep you warm."
