[Intro] (Eerie banjo echoes... distant wind... low strings swell... heartbeat kick) [Verse 1] North wind howls... Steel-toe ghosts... Frozen highways... Lead us home... Headlights cut... Through the frost... Every mile... Comes with a cost... Pipe in the dirt... Hands in the cold... Nobody here... Gets handed gold... [Pre-Chorus] If it was easy... Everybody'd stay... No shortcuts... No easy pay... [Chorus] Can't run... With the big dogs... Stay on... The porch... Get that pipe... Down in the ground... Legends... Never slow down... Do it... The Alberta way... Earn your name... Day by day... [Verse 2] Tailgate drops... Morning growl... North wind sings... Cold and loud... Every scar... Tells the truth... Every shift... Leaves its proof... Whole crew moving... Like one machine... No wasted words... No in-between... [Breakdown] (Strings disappear. Only distorted banjo, bass drone and whisper.) (Everything drops except a low drone.) (Silence.) "...No Shortcuts!" (Massive bass hit.) [Final Chorus] Can't run... With the big dogs... Stay on... The porch... If it was easy... Everyone would try... Legends are forged... They don't ask why... No shortcuts... No easy pay... Built to last... The Alberta way... [Pre-Outro] (Slow piano. Banjo fades into wind.) The road remembers... Every name... But only legends... Leave a flame... [Outro-Chorus] If it was easy... Everybody'd stay... No shortcuts... No easy pay... (Wind... strings fade... heartbeat stops.)
