Lyrics
Performed by Dave Sturgeon
Livin' here in the northern land
Where man earns a livin' with a caloused hand
Where the lakes turn to thick ice
'Fore the leaves have died.
Folks down south just have to wonder
How we make it up here in the frozen tundra
With an igloo for a home
Sled dogs outside ...
chorus
But they've never seen the sun set low
In the western sky when it's forty below
And the snow lay silver on the trees
At Twin Lakes.
Livin' here in the northern land
May be something some never understand
But then again they've never been
To Twin Lakes.
As I've watched the years go flyin' by
Many young hearts have said goodbye
To their northern home
In search of a dream (Am)
But it ain't too long 'for they see the light
Miss walkin' alone in the dark of night
And the pleasures of a true friend
Mean more it seems (Fd)
'Cause they've been there when the sun set low
In the western sky when it's forty below
And the snow lay silver on the trees
At Twin Lakes
Livin' here in the northern land
May be something some never understand
But then again they've never been
To Twin Lakes.
Friends may turn out to be fairweather
Little less rain, summer mighta been better
Another winter's worth of potholes,
On Golf-Course Road.
Still some nights when I'm lyin' in bed
And the pressures of the day won't leave my head,
There's a place I go,
Helps me unload.
