Lyrics
The North End of a Southbound Train
The old town just got older
And the winter wind blew colder
Every year that I kept hangin' on
I tried to find a reason
To keep myself from leavin'
But all the reasons I could find were wrong
I'm on the north end of a southbound train
Looking back across the tracks from where I came
Moving on is bittersweet that way
On the north end of a southbound train
Hey Hey
On the north end of a southbound train
Hey Hey
My roots they wouldn't grow there
My mind was always elsewhere
That town was not a place where I belonged
There'll be no one there to miss me
With eyes that get all misty
No hearts are gonna break because I'm gone
I'm on the north end of a southbound train
Looking back across the tracks from where I came
Moving on is bittersweet that way
On the north end of a southbound train
Break
Up ahead no way to know what I might find
But there's got to be a better place
Than what I left behind
I'm on the north end of a southbound train
Looking back across the tracks from where I came
Moving on is bittersweet that way
On the north end of a southbound train
Hey Hey
On the north end of a southbound train
Hey Hey
