Текст песни Northbound - Cold Chisel

Northbound

Northbound train
Take me home again
Northbound train
Blow that whistle and sing
Well, I left my wife in pieces
My children on the run
And I don't give a damn about the time or the money
Oh, get me home to my honey
On that Northbound train

Long time gone
I've been kicked and abused
Long time gone
I've been tangled and used
My hometown lies on the line ahead
You got to drift no further, the preacher said
You lost your soul in a big, bad city
And left your wife to some small-town pity

Oh, no! Well, I never did right
My whole life's been one long storm
There's only one thing sadder than the cold and rain
It's the midnight whistle on the Northbound train

Northbound train
Northbound train
Northbound train
Northbound train take me home again

My whole life's been one long storm
My whole life's been one long storm
My whole life's been one long storm
My whole life's been one long storm

My whole life's been one long storm (my whole life)
My whole life's been one long storm (my whole life)
My whole life's been one long storm (my whole life)
My whole life's been one long storm

And you know
There's just one thing sadder
Than the cold and rain
It's the midnight whistle, baby, on a train

Thank you
Well, it's nice to see how many awake at this ungodly hour
I don't think you should start these concerts 'til six o'clock
Give me time to wake up
Had to have two lines of breakfast
