Ever in the rest of our lives.
Even if we keep on going round in a circle,
And all we ever do is survive.

I hope you know that I would never trade it for anything,
Hope you know I’m glad we’re alive.
Cause when we pass by the people stop on a dime,
And they stand with their mouths gaping wide.

Cause we’ve got the last dogs in Alaska by our side
And nobody can match our speed on the ice fields where we ride
And there’s always still a way ahead somewhere

To while away the last of my years
Up in the north where the snow still falls
And the cold can still make ice of your tears

And we’ve still got the...

When I feel that wet nose on my face
I know that the ice floes will just fall right into place
I’m gonna run ‘em right on down,
Cause what kind of lousy god would ever let us drown?

When we’ve got the…
