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
