It's Not You, It's Me (Alberta Breakup Song

A song about Alberta independence, sovereignty.

[Verse 1]
Oh Canada, it’s time we had a talk,
I’m packin’ my bags, gonna walk my own walk.
Gonna take the reins, I swear it’s true,
Ah, doing my best to get away from you

[Chorus]
It’s not you, it’s me, I need to roam,
My spirit’s too free for your Ottawa throne.
It’s not your flag, or your maple tree,
But your policies, man, they’re killin’ me

[Verse 2]
My rigs and my cattle don’t answer to you,
I’ll just be me, you go do you.
You keep takin’ my wealth to spread it around,
You cut me off at the knees, keepin’ oil in the ground

[Chorus]
It’s not you, it’s me, I’m breakin’ the chain,
I need sovereignty, not your federal reign.
It’s not your flag, or your maple tree,
But your policies, man, they’re killin’ me

[Bridge]
Your red tape’s a lasso, my spirit’s run bare,
I’ve given my all, but you don’t seem to care.
Wexit’s callin’, it ain’t that far,
I’m risin’ now to chase my own star

[Final Chorus]
It’s not you, it’s me, I’m breakin’ free,
My soul’s in the oil patch, not your bureaucracy.
So wave that red leaf, I’ll tip my hat,
Alberta’s movin’ on—imagine that

[Outro]
It’s not you, it’s me, I’m ridin’ away,
I’ve got my own path, startin’ today.
With my Stetson high ‘neath a wide prairie sky,
I’m chasin’ my freedom, so Canada, bye bye

[Instrumental Solo]
