North Country Lyrics

Say New York and all they think is city

Where no one ever sleeps and everything is shifting

They don't know that the grass is greener here

Drive a few miles and hear the local station

We're still here after your vacation

Same little one stop town that'll never leave

They come and they taint the water in the lake

Don't they know we drink that here

Can't they read the signs that littering's a crime

Do you think they even care

And yes they bring their money I guess it's kinda funny

How we need them year to year

We're from the same state but can you relate to the people that live up here

In my north country

North country

Big city lights I'd trade in an instant

For sunday night drives through the autumn mountain ridges

Wrap me up in your Adirondack arms

Spend the summer swimming, hiking, and fishing

Spend the winter dreaming 'bout the sunshine that we're missing

Some little ghost town that you've never seen

They come and they taint the water in the lake

Don't they know we drink that here

Can't they read the signs that littering's a crime

Do you think they even care

And yes they bring their money I guess it's kinda funny

How we need them year to year

We're from the same state but can you relate to the people that live up here

In my north country

North country

North country

North country
