Story Behind The Song

Just befoire my 40th birthday I read an article that said I should live to be 80 so I was at 45 degrees north or halfway through my life. That got me thinking!

Song Description

The song speaks of lifes trial and what you learn by living.

Lyrics

Verse
I have wandered through these years
Full of hopes, dreams and fears
Never fading, never giving up
Schemes, dreams and tails of glory
All the chapters in this life story
On a quest, put to another test

Chorus
At 45 degrees north
Got a sense of something real and I know it's mine
At 45 degrees North
Sun on my back and open road before me
At 45 degrees north

Verse
It's not luck or gift of insight
It's follow through that makes things right
And never giving up without a fight
Experience is fuel for song
Clock keeps moving I'm working on
Putting more life into these years

Chorus
At 45 degrees north
Got a sense of something real and I know it's mine
At 45 degrees North
Sun on my back and open road before me
At 45 degrees north

Interlude
Can't turn back, can't loose ground
Can't look forward if you're turned around
What's to come is hard o tell
Never dwell on wishing wells

Chorus
At 45 degrees north
Been through life's trials, still standing here
At 45 degrees north

Verse
It's not decisions you made right
You make mistakes then you make them right
That's the best advice there really is
To sum it up in a few more words
It's part of life, just fail forward
Worst regrets are things you haven't done

Chorus
At 45 degrees north
Got a sense of something real and I know it's mine
At 45 degrees North
Sun on my back and open road before me
At 45 degrees north

45 Degrees North
