about

This song is dedicated to my 1998 Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck, "Alberta".

lyrics

Lyrics:

Me and Alberta, we’ve been through thick and thin
From the coast of California all the way to Michigan
She’s the one, the only one, who stays right by my side
She’s the one who’ll never run and she’s always ready to ride

Alberta, she’s my highway queen
Wears an apron full of gold
Prettiest thing I’ve ever seen
When her hair hangs down low

She gave me shelter from the storm when those chilly winds did blow
Always kept me warm and out of the snow
She held me in her arms when I had nowhere to go
She’s never done no harm since the day I said hello

Alberta, she’s my highway queen
Wears an apron full of gold
Prettiest thing I’ve ever seen
When her hair hangs down low

We sang “Hickory Wind” on those Blue Ridge Mountain tops
Been around the bend and you know we’ll never stop
I got white line fever whenever she’s around
You know I’ll never leave her and that fever, it won’t ever come down

Alberta, she’s my highway queen
Wears an apron full of gold
Prettiest thing I’ve ever seen
When her hair hangs down low

Alberta, she’s my highway queen
Wears an apron full of gold
Prettiest thing I’ve ever seen
When her hair hangs down low
