I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this meter of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tracks behind Because it's mine, I walk the line The cold winds bite, my furry shadow bites too I find myself alone until each day is through Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you Because it's mine, I walk the line As sure as day is grey and night has aurora light I track our way from flag to flag on sight And hope the chopper's flight will be alright Because it's mine, I walk the line The barren land and wild are far from my backyard I scan for wolves and bears, I’m always on my guard For you I know I'd even face them hard Because it's mine, I walk the line I keep a close watch on the snowshoe signs I keep my eyes wide open for the lines I keep my heart light in these northern climes Because it's mine, I walk the line
