Away up in alaska
The state that stands alone
There’s a dog race run from anchorage into nome
And it’s a grueling race with a lightning pace
Where chilly winds do wail
Beneath the northern lights, across snow and ice
It’s called the iditarod trail
Well, give me a team and a good lead dog and a sled that’s built so fine
And let me race those miles to nome, one thousand forty-nine
Then when i get back to my home
Hey i can tell my tale
I did, i did i did the iditarod trail
Well the race it won’t be easy
For the masters of the trail
And some of them will make it and some of them will fail
But just to run that race takes a tough and hardy breed
And a lot of work done by the dogs
That run across snow with whistling speed
Well, give me a team and a good lead dog and a sled that’s built so fine
And let me race those miles to nome, one thousand forty-nine
Then when i get back to my home
Hey i can tell my tale
I did, i did i did the iditarod trail
I just pulled out of safety
And i’m on the trail alone
I’m doin’ fine and i’m pickin’ up time
And runnin’ on in to nome
There’s no sled tracks in front of me
And no one’s on my tail
I did, i did, i did the iditarod trail!
Well, give me a team and a good lead dog and a sled that’s built so fine
And let me race those miles to nome, one thousand forty-nine
Then when i get back to my home
Hey i can tell my tale
I did, i did i did the iditarod trail
I did, i did i did the iditarod trail
