North Country

I don't make it up this way too often

Now 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

Oh, 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, but 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
