North On 21

Third night this week I'm playin' this old bar again A young newly wed couple showed up Spotted the as soon as they walked in They looked so in love Young man looked up at me He threw me a five Asked if he could buy me a drink He said I wish I could sing and play guitar, man you've got it made He said, before we go and toast to that There's something I've gotta say I'd give it all I'd give it back I'd make a call Wouldn't take me long to pack And I'd give it up I'd give it in If only I Could see her again It just took this long to see That this aint where I need to be I've had too much fun I'm headed north on 21 I amde a lot of good friends But lost them just as fast You can't see the real world Through the bottom of a glass Aint even got a dog 'Cuz I'm always on the road Don't even call home Aint been a letter wrote But if I could see the bright lights of Montgomery, Alabam' Take this long road back up home And never take it down I'd give it all I'd give it back I'd make a call Wouldn't take me long to pack And I'd give it up I'd give it in If only I Could see her again It just took this long to see That this aint where I need to be I've had too much fun I'm headed north on 21 It just took this long to see That this bottles drowning me I've had too much fun I'm headed north on 21
