Sugarland - Life In A Northern Town lyrics
rate meA Salvation Army band played<br />
And the children drank lemonade<br />
And the morning lasted all day, all day<br />
<br />
And through an open window came<br />
Like Sinatra in a younger day<br />
Pushing the town away, away<br />
<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, heyya<br />
Life in a northern town<br />
Hey ma ma ma ma<br />
<br />
He sat on the stony ground<br />
And he took a cigarette out<br />
And everyone else came down to listen<br />
<br />
It was the winter 1963<br />
I thought that the world would freeze<br />
With John F. Kennedy and The Beatles"<br />
Yeah yeah yeah<br />
<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, heyya<br />
Life in a northern town<br />
Hey ma ma ma ma<br />
<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, heyya<br />
They shut the factory down<br />
Hey ma ma ma ma<br />
<br />
The evening had turned to rain<br />
Watched the water roll down the drain<br />
As they followed him down to the station<br />
<br />
He never would wave goodbye<br />
You could see it written in his eyes<br />
As the train pulled out of sight, bye bye<br />
<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, heyya<br />
Life in a northern town<br />
Hey ma ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself<br />
<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, heyya<br />
Life in a northern town<br />
Hey ma ma ma ma<br />
<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, heyya<br />
Life in a northern town<br />
Hey ma ma ma ma<br />
<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya<br />
Heyya ma ma ma, heyya<br />
Life in a northern town<br />
Hey ma ma ma ma<br /><br />
