Northbound train Take me home
again Northbound train Blow that whistle
and sing I left my wife in pieces My
children on the run I don't give a damn about
the time or the money Just let me get home to
my honey On the Northbound train
Long
time ago And I'm kicked and abused Long
time gone I've been tangled and used My
hometown lies on the line ahead You got to
drift no longer, the preacher said You lost
your soul in the big bad city Know you left
you wife to the small town pity Oh no! I never
did right My whole life's been on a long
storm There's only one thing sadder than the
cold and rain That's the midnight whistle on
the train
