[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
