Northern Exposure Lyrics



I’ve seen it all, criss crossed five thousand miles

past rocky tips and sandy shores

I’ve lost some friends, but I bounced back again

from frozen wrecks on icy roads

And my friends all say I’ve lost another year

that it’s time to give it up and face my fears

But it’s not about the fun, it’s being proud of what

I’ve done

about having all the guts to do it here



I’ve seen it all, lived life on borrowed time

Past city blocks and gravel roads

I lost some friends, dropped out been on the mend

I climbed right back from no control



But I don’t know how much more that I can take

before my body gives and starts to break

But it’s not about the fun, it’s being proud of what

I’ve done

about having all the guts to do it here



Well I had it down, fought hard and now I’m found

but I’m wearing thin out on the road

And I’ve done the rounds, met girls in northern towns

but these days I’d rather sleep alone



But I don’t know how much more that I can take

before my body gives and starts to break

But it’s not about the fun, it’s being proud of what

I’ve done

about having all the guts to do it here



We don’t need another sad song
