North

North

I'm going north tonight where it's lonely

The holy land of stone is calling me

And I ride on steel and silver wings

And I ride on the old grey ribbons North

I’m goin’ north

Pack it up now mama ‘cause we're gonna be FREE

In the land where the big sky meets the sea

And even though my heart is heavy

II’m gonna leave my home

I’m goin’ north

I’m goin’ north

And the sun goes down way too fast

And the sun stays down way too long

I’m gonna keep on moving till I’m not around

I’m gonna leave this dirty tired town

Put your sugar down on my front seat

‘cause you truly know what’s good for me

And we’ll ride like ghosts of the steel rails

And we’ll drive up the long grey ribbon North

I’m goin’ north

I’m goin’ north
