Lyrics for North Country
I don't make it up this way too often And the cold is a little bit hard on me Gotta wait for the season to soften Before I make the trip from Tennessee Way up in the North Country I guess it's just my blood getting thinner This ain't easy living, no siree We used to steal away and watch the fireflies after dinner It's a slow-motion dream that you never see Way up in the North Country Wintertime in the pines and the snow is coming on You'll be back when the cold winds blow, I'll be gone Some long dark night, you might send me a letter Full of sleepless devilry I'll tell you now, we could be together If you ever get tired of being free Way up in the North Country
