"Northern Girl" by Cheryl Wheeler (Cheryl Wheeler)

1st Verse

Why are the rain clouds comin'
And pourin' down on me
And why can't the north wind turn and blow
The other way
And where has the sunshine gone
Oh, I can barely see
This northern rain is fallin'
And home is callin' me

2nd Verse

And sun in a southern sky
Is all I need to see
Just watchin' a small bird fly
Above the fields and me
Walkin' a dusty road
And there's nothin' 'round the bend
Except those golden tones of goin' home again

Chorus

Goin' home
Goin' home

3rd Verse

A muddy old river flowin' 'neath a fallen tree
And sunflower garden growin'
Twice as tall as me
Sister and father hear me
What I learned today
I ain't no northern girl
I've been too long away

(Repeat Chorus)

4th Verse

On a starry old summer evenin'
Hummin' warm and sweet
Well, I hit the road believin'
I was bound to leave
And it took a New England sky
To teach me how to say
I ain't no northern girl
I've been too long away
I ain't no northern girl
I've been too long away

Tag

This ain't no northern song
And I've been too long away
