Northern Rail lyrics

I'm gonna ride that northern rail

I'm gonna follow the lonesome trail

To the place where my heartaches can fly

And the midnight sky is a diamond veil

On the northern rail

There's nothing I own and nothing that I lack

When you're runnin' away, you ain't gonna be lookin' back

I never wanted it to end this way

But there was no good reason to stay when the feelin' had died

So I'm gonna ride

I'm gonna ride that northern rail

I'm gonna follow the lonesome trail

To the place where my heartaches can fly

And the midnight sky is a diamond veil

On the northern rail

I'm lookin' for a reason why love can turn to rust

He had a voice that was soft but his heart was as dry as dust

He knew the highway was callin' me

And that was enough to make him find another to bride

So I'm gonna ride

I'm gonna ride that northern rail

I'm gonna follow the lonesome trail

To the place where my heartaches can fly

And the midnight sky is a diamond veil

I'm lookin' for a place that I've never seen before

And I'm ridin' this train to a wide and a lonesome shore

I still don't know what I'm hopin' to find

But I'm leavin' love behind on the morning tide

So I'm gonna ride

I'm gonna ride that northern rail

I'm gonna follow the lonesome trail

To the place where my heartaches can fly

And the midnight sky is a diamond veil

On the northern rail

On the northern rail

On the northern rail
