North On 21

Third night this week
I’m playin' this old bar again
A young newly wed couple showed up
Spotted the as soon as they walked in
They looked so in love
Young man looked up at me
He threw me a five
Asked if he could buy me a drink
He said I wish I could sing and play guitar, man you’ve got it made
He said, before we go and toast to that
There’s something I’ve gotta say
I’d give it all
I’d give it back
I’d make a call
Wouldn’t take me long to pack
And I’d give it up
I’d give it in
If only I
Could see her again
It just took this long to see
That this aint where I need to be
I’ve had too much fun
I’m headed north on 21
I amde a lot of good friends
But lost them just as fast
You can’t see the real world
Through the bottom of a glass
Aint even got a dog
'Cuz I’m always on the road
Don’t even call home
Aint been a letter wrote
But if I could see the bright lights of Montgomery, Alabam'
Take this long road back up home
And never take it down
I’d give it all
I’d give it back
I’d make a call
Wouldn’t take me long to pack
And I’d give it up
I’d give it in
If only I
Could see her again
It just took this long to see
That this aint where I need to be
I’ve had too much fun
I’m headed north on 21
It just took this long to see
That this bottles drowning me
I’ve had too much fun
I’m headed north on 21
