lyrics
There's been a silent street,
An abandoned factory,
A river and a walking trail
Outside my house for five straight years
Fifty miles difference
Ain't no goddamn different
It's the same old plaintive scene
And it could be said,
Just shame on me
Five years difference
Ain't goddamn different to me
Every winter for fifteen years I'd say
"That's it, I've had it now,"
"I'm moving west or south or anywhere but north"
North oh north I went,
And north, oh north I'll stay
Eleven and nine tenths percent
Of people in this country will leave
My brother said
Most people die within about sixty miles
Of where they learned to walk and love and drink and cry
I'm not ready to die
I'm not ready to die
Every winter for fifteen years I'd say
"That's it, I've had it now,"
"I'm moving west or south or anywhere but north"
North oh north I went,
And north, oh north I'll stay
Life takes time
Every winter for fifteen years I'd say
"That's it, I've had it now,"
"I'm moving west or south or anywhere but north"
North oh north I went,
And north, oh north I'll stay
