1501 - "Movin' To Alberta"

I hear the pipeline comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when
I'm stuck in the Lower Mainland
And news keeps draggin' on
But that pipeline keeps a-rollin' 

Down to Burnaby Mountain

When I was just a young man
My Mama told me, son 

You always vote for Trudeau
He'll always get it done
But Trudy sold the pipeline
Now he's a real sly guy
When I know black bitumen's comin'
I hang my head and cry

But then I thought of somethin'

I ain't got no kids so far
Don't know what I'm savin' 

This gol-danged planet fer 

Now I'm Kinder-Morgan truckin'

I sold my compact car
I'll keep this V-8 revvin'
And let my wheels take me far

I'm movin' to Alberta
To be among my kind
Gonna buy me some truck-nuts
And guns for my duck blind
Far from Granola City
That's where I want to stay
And I'll let that big ol' pipeline
Flow my blues away

Apologies to Johnny Cash and The Folsom Prison Blues.  Honestly, I'm not against the pipeline as such.  I just don't like Kinder-Morgan's track record in Burnaby, I live near where the new pipeline will terminate, and I know that a bitumen oil spill is nearly impossible to mitigate.  Instead of political bluster, it would have been better to have some rational problem-solving.
