Northern Boys and Southern Girls Lyrics

On the road again, without all my friends I don't need a chase, when I feel this way

Cigars and whiskey bottles, bars and a crowd to follow Surrounded by tipsy models, all that I need in sorrow

But you're a good girl and it makes me sad You need a strong man to hold your hand

I'm on a one way to the holy lands I pray that one day that you'll make me dad

And I've been saving up for a real big wedding Hope you love me strong, cause the days grow heavy on me

My mother is all I had And now I'm cursing at her each time I'm mad

And you'll be all you need in this whole big world Cause you're all I see, you're the only girl

And I just had a son with a northern belle And I'll probably go to hell for the dreams I sell

She told me you're a good boy and it makes me sad You never had a daddy to tell you that

And I grew up in the north with a working man And that we all went to church, if it hurts just stand

And raise your hands to the lord and I'll hold you tight But baby I don't think heaven can make me right

Cause I'm an outlaw to the word of Christ And if somebody sins forgiven it won't be mine

And I'm burning up but it's cold outside And I keep waking up when the storm is high

And I've been wiping tears but my face won't dry And maybe I was meant to be all alone this time
