North Coast

The North Coast was locked in a drivin' storm

Seems like years since I've been warm

Lookin' out my window at the drivin' snow

I got the old time reelin' to go

I was hopin' it would not be long

Before I could hear the highway song

North Coast, North Coast, I am gone

Oh, well I stayed for a while in a south Texas town

With a Mexican mama, her skin was so brown

Her eyes were as deep and as true as the sea

And she was tryin' to get a hold on me, oh

I started hopin' it would not be long

Before I could sing that highway song

North Coast, ah, North Coast, I am gone

I'm thinkin' thoughts that I never ever thought

Would ever cross my wanderin' mind

I know it's time to be back on the road

To see the country and ease my worried, troubled mind

I'm thinkin' thoughts that I never ever thought

Would ever cross my wanderin' mind

I know it's time to be back on the road

To see the country and ease my worried, troubled mind

Well, I played in the barrooms for quarters and beer

From Bangor, Maine, all the way down here

This Mexican sun, it's got me feelin' alright

I'll be back in San Francisco tonight

I'll be hopin' it will not take long

'Fore I can hear the highway song

North Coast, North Coast, I am gone

I said North Coast, North Coast

North Coast

North Coast, North Coast

North Coast, North Coast

North Coast, North Coast

North Coast, North Coast

North Coast, North Coast...
