Headed Up North

This winter's been too long and cold
I've been stuck in the snow
No more fires to stoke

These town lines just don't get me going
The cascades cut to the bone
So I'm leaving alone

There ain't much I need from you
Just a fond farewell, bid me adieu

Standing on the side of the railroad tracks
Headed up north and I won't come back
Honey, just don't follow the tracks I leave
And this is how I cope with
Hating bad where I grew up
Letting myself live on luck
Being close to giving up that's why
I'm headed up north again

I've got all I need with me
And where I long to be
Goes from Sound to sea
I hop on right beneath the trees
My cigarette with ease
Lights up all the leaves

There ain't much I need to say
Just say goodbye and get out of my way

Standing on the side of the railroad tracks
Headed up north and I won't come back
Honey, just don't follow the tracks I leave
And this is all I have to show for
Leaving you with my old guitar
Thing's worth more than my broken heart
I need some time to be apart from you
So I'm headed up north again
I'm headed up north again
I'm headed up north again
