indio saravanja - northern town lyrics

it was new years day back in ’92
i was just a kid in my canvas shoes
going to new york city from montreal
where i left my heart on a last phone call
i made it past the border with my new guitar
they searched me good and they stripped my car
i was almost in the city when the snow came down
it weren’t half as pretty as my northern town

got myself a job in a small cafe
playing bobby dylan down in the subways
and i had big ideas ’bout the truth and such
i looked around the scene and i didn’t find much
but the ghosts of the singers with the golden words
and i wrotе a lot of songs that no one ever hеard
i got so lonely when i lost my sound
just another hillbilly from a northern town
and there was n0body there to hold me
n0body there could’ve told me

it felt like christmas in the middle of june
when santa rolled in with a needle and spoon
it was cheaper than grass and it felt so good
you’d go get more just as soon as you could
but then the money got thin and the streets got mean
i didn’t know how i just had to get clean
it took a whole week of shaking on an old greyhound
but i made it on back to my northern town

now my northern town can get cold as h+ll
there ain’t no steeple and there ain’t no bell
there’s a whiskey river that runs right through
and it might look dirty depending on your view
and sometimes i wonder if i’ll ever get out
when the bar is full of laughter and the lake is full of trout
and when that midnight sun and the summer comes round
there’s nothing in the world like my northern town
nothing in the world like my northern town
