I've been living in the city lights
For far too long
I've walked these streets a thousand times
But it don't feel like home
I'm tired of the bars around here
I wore them out long ago
In my mind the wild is calling
Take me out to the unknown
And the Northern Lights are burning
Dancing in the sky
As I drive across the landscape
Straight into the wild
Just want to leave it all behind and go
Somewhere I can find peace of mind
And the Northern Lights are burning
Green up in the sky
I've been watching how this country's changed
Since I was a child
Now I wonder, how in hell
They'll turn this ship around
On the TV screens the news is flashing
It all goes round and round
In my my mind I've already left
Lead my way to something new
And the Northern Lights are burning
Dancing in the sky
As I drive across the landscape
Straight into the wild
Just want to leave it all behind and go
Somewhere I can find peace of mind
And the Northern Lights are burning
Green up in the sky
Round and round and round we're spinning
Round and round we go
We're so different when we're young
But so alike when we're old
And the Northern Lights are burning
Dancing in the sky
As I drive across the landscape
Straight into the wild
Just want to leave it all behind and go
Somewhere I can find peace of mind
And the Northern Lights are burning
Green up in the sky
