Northern Escape

The road stretches, long and thin Miles of nothing, where do I begin With mountains like walls, standing so true Alaska's wild call, in the rear view [Verse 2] Wheels gripping, on a trail so raw Breaking from life's unending draw Drive on, drive on Drive on, hey, drive on [Verse 3] I'd thought like a dream That the wilderness would claim you But the cold bites, it sears And the solitude remains Steel birds, circling high and lost Glacier eyes stare down with frost Lost in a tundra, of my own mind Alaska's beauty, so cruel, unkind [Chorus] Drive on, through the ice and snow Rugged heart, with no place to go Frozen whispers of the pines so tall Nature's graffiti written on every wall My mind's racing with the Northern Lights A lonely journey through these longest nights [Verse 4] Solitude's company, it's all I bring As the ice wind through my jacket sings Asphalt rebel, my only trace Northern sky holds a grizzled face Bound by the world, yet free at the core Alaska's grip, a siren that roars [Verse 5] In the silence, my spirit screams Majestic land, shatters city dreams
