lyrics

Stuck in the south, I wanna see you again
I’m heading to the station gonna get me on a train
headin’ up north to the things I used to know
Missing my girl, been too far away
lookin’ for some lovin’ at the end of the day
spent too long missing what we do
I getting on that train

Stuck in a seat – it’s all hot and tight
Sweet senorita sitting on my right
I’m thinking of you as I’m looking in her eyes
Just 19 and leaving home,
sweet little puppy, lookin’ for a bone
as the night draws in we kiss the day goodbye
I’m riding on that train

On the northbound train, the northbound train
I’m gonna see you again, on that northbound train
On the northbound train, the northbound train
I got high ideals but I keep falling
I’ll hitch a ride on whoever comes calling (woo woo)
On that northbound train
stopping for a time in a little log town
sun is up high and my resistance is down
and the bar girls friendly smile blows me away
taking it neat in a cool bath house
she’s looking with her eyes and she’s working with her mouth
as the moment comes it’s time to ride again
I’m riding on that train
On the northbound train, the northbound train….

and I know you’re waiting for me , and that’s real nice
your clothes are smart and fancy and you know I paid that price
but there’s people here ripe for laying
if she says money, I’ll be payin’
and you know if she says liquor,…………. I’ll oblige

On the northbound train, the northbound train……

didn’t you hear? Well I left that train
camping by a valley that’s wet from the rain
where the dew is sweet and the ground is firm and wide
there are willing hands and wide spread feet
I gotta feed my needs and there’s plenty to eat
and there’s many deep furrows to plant my seed inside
I’m riding on that train
