Intro
Westward Rings The Far Off Bells Of Dawson City, Yukon
The Crippled Mountains Have Gone Dry But The Miners Carry On
And They're Digging And They're Panning And They're Holding Out A Hope
As The Wind It Bites Like Wolves Upon An Antelope
Chorus
I'll Be One Of Them, Riding A Truck Northward In The Snow
Three Days Up Through Canada I'll Go
Find Work On The Crabbing Ship
A Friend Of Mine Did Several Years Ago
A Leathered Man Told Me
"When You're Backed Into A Corner, Go North"
Go North
Verse 2
Anchorage Is Not That Far, But Fairbanks Is A Distant Star
Thеre Was A Girl I Knew Up Therе, But She Went To Alberta
And I Cried (And I Cried)
Lord, I Cried
But Her Stories Put Desire In Me To Live Beneath Auroras
To Disappear Beyond The Map Where No One Could Record Us
Where Six Months Of The Year The Sun Is Barely Moving Toward Us
Windowless And Clockless Hundred Miles Into The Forest
Chorus
And I'd Be One Of Them, Riding A Truck Northward In The Snow
Three Days Up Through Canada I'd Go
Find Work Logging Birch Trees
With The Relative That I Don't Even Know
I Read It On A Railway Wall
"When Everything Is Broken, Go North"
When Everything Is Broken, Go North
When Everything Is Broken, Go North, Go North, Go North

Chorus
I Am One Of Them, Riding A Truck Up Northward In The Frost
Three Days Up Through Canada, So Lost
Aging With The Condors
And Breathing In The Burning Wood Exhaust
The Last Thing That She Said
"If An Answer Won't Present Itself, Go North"
