| When I came to the Prince William Sound | |
| The Glaciers were friends to me | |
| Not one of them said I had to be home | |
| Or I couldn't have a drink | |
| Sometime late in '63 | |
| Appetites finally grew near | |
| How to get kicked off a pipeline crew | |
| Get too drunk to feel fear | |
| Winter was coming anyway seeming to last an age | |
| Lived off of my severance pay from the old pipeline days | |
| Did just fine out in the snow -- Jack was just a little help | |
| You think six months of darkness easy, you just try it yourself | |
| Woke up in time that early spring | |
| To turn on the evening news | |
| Could only sit dumb as Cronkite said | |
| "Look what's gonna happen to you" | |
| I was drunk when the shock wave hit | |
| Said goodbye to Valdez | |
| Nothing much there anyway | |
| Just the pipeline and me | |
| Earth shook earth shook | |
| Never meant nothing to me | |
| Never meant anything |
