Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Snow chains humming on a two-lane track Frost on the dash Old map half-cracked Coffee gone cold in a Styrofoam cup Chasing that shimmer that never quite lets up [Chorus] Alaska gold No guts No glory Ford heavy duty Carrying my story Big metal hearts Pounding cold steel dreams If it breaks me Then it breaks me I was built to chase that gleam [Verse 2] Paycheck thin But the veins run deep Talk is cheap where the mountains sleep Buddy cashed out Said the cost’s too high I just grinned Said I’d rather try than die [Chorus] Alaska gold No guts No glory Ford heavy duty Carrying my story Big metal hearts Pounding cold steel dreams If it breaks me Then it breaks me I was built to chase that gleam [Bridge] Ice on my beard Sweat on my back (oh yeah) Every hard mile etched in the tracks If this is madness It’s the kind I need Rust in my blood and a promise to feed [Chorus] Alaska gold No guts No glory Ford heavy duty Carrying my story Big metal hearts Pounding cold steel dreams If it breaks me Then it breaks me I was built to chase that gleam
