Northern Boy

(앨범: Full Nelson - 2018)

Northern hero, northern boy
Through a town going nowhere he flies
Steps out in the cold, head down, collar up
Another 12 for the man and he's home

But his eyes
They don't lie

Northern mother, the only God that I know
Making less than they've got go much further
Screams round her knees, least she gets no sleep
She's putting pennies away for the summer

And her eyes
They don't lie
Her eyes
They don't lie

I don't wanna tell the world
I don't wanna be here no more
I don't want to tell the world the score
But I won't ever leave you alone
I don't wanna spill the beans
I don't wanna save the day
I don't want to chase my blues away
But I won't ever leave you alone

I'm a northern boy, and I've never had much
My dad's my hero, my mother is God
I was raised on the cheap but my life is so sweet
And I wouldn't change my story for nothing

'Cause my eyes
They don't lie
My eyes
They don't lie

Whoa, my eyes
They don't lie
My eyes don't lie
No they don't lie

I don't wanna tell the world
I don't wanna be here no more
I don't want to tell the world the score
I don't wanna spill the beans
I don't wanna save the day
I don't want to chase my blues away
Whoa, no lie

My eyes
They don't lie
They don't lie
My eyes
They don't lie
They don't lie

I don't wanna spill the beans
I don't wanna save the day
I don't want to chase my blues away
Whoa, my eyes
