Lyrics
Northern Country Boy
Moonshining on the countryside
Tonight the drinks are on me
Old cars, good weed are passing round
In our own VIP
Who needs the city and the gas
When I got you
Old friends just droppin' by again
Like in the good old days
Here they don't use no calendar
They don't plan two weeks ahead
Who needs the city and the trash
When I can see the mountains
And the lake
Northern Country Boy
The city made you hard and cold
Don't wanna die a lonely man
So I'm coming back again
Once and always
Forever country man
Hey John can I borrow your car tonight
I need to pick up our 12 step man
He's coming out again today
So we need to celebrate
2 years and 20 more pounds
I really think he'll make it this time
He says "Everybody here looks at me,
I've become the local freak"
You know I never really cared about them
Not even my family
I'll always be the black cheap
That's just the way it is
Northern Country Boy
The city made you hard and cold
Don't wanna die a lonely man
So I'm coming back again
Once and always
Forever country man
I wanted to tear this town apart
Send in the artillery
Bomb the hell out of everyone around
Well, everyone who weren't like me
But now I've found that no one is
So why even bother to try
Forever country man
Forever country man
Northern Country Boy
The city made you hard and cold
Don't wanna die a lonely man
So I'm coming back again
Once and always
Forever country man
