Big Sugar - All Hell for a Basement lyrics

(G. Johnson/P. Ballantyne)

I'm a workin' man

But I ain't worked for a while

Like some old tin can

From the bottom of the pile

I have lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement

My words are like a rope

That's wrapped around my throat

Wash my mouth with soap

For words unfit to quote

I have lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement

I have lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement

And now I'm free to go

But time cannot remove

The only life I know

Now only time will prove

Yes only time will prove

If I have lost my way

'Cause I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement

Yeah, I lost my way

But I hear a tale

About a heaven in Alberta

Where they've got all hell for a basement
