Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born on the tip of a compass point
A Jersey baby and a Rust Belt boy
Rode that Pennsylvania Turnpike east and west
Picked up an attitude and an accent
You probably can't heart it anymore
[Chorus]
But I'm a northerner
Chasin' a southern song
Yeah, I'm a northerner
Yeah, don't get me wrong
I'll always call it home
I just couldn't stay for too long
For too long
[Verse 2]
Birds fly south and I did too
Ran right into the middle of you
Took a pretty girl from east of Memphis
To sand down all my rusted edges
Sweet as a magnolia bloom
[Chorus]
Now I'm a northerner
Chasin' a southern song
Yeah, I'm a northerner
Yeah, don't get me wrong
I'll always call it home
I just couldn't stay for too long
For too long
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, I'm a northerner
Chasin' a southern song
Yeah, I'm a northerner
Yeah, don't get me wrong
I'll always call it home
I just couldn't stay for too long
For too long
