Northbound (2011 remastered) Songtext
von Cold Chisel

Northbound train
Take me home again
Northbound train
Blow that whistle and sing
I left my wife in pieces
My children on the run
And I don′t give a damn about the time or the money
Just get me home to my honey
On that Northbound train

Long time gone
I've been kicked and abused
Long time gone
I′ve been tangled and used
My hometown lies on the line ahead
You got to drift no longer, the preacher said
You lost your soul in the big bad city
And left your wife to the small-town pity


Oh, no! Well, I never did right
My whole life's been one long storm
There's only one thing sadder than the cold and rain
That′s that midnight whistle on the Northbound train

Northbound train (Northbound train)
Northbound train (Northbound train)
Northbound train (Northbound train)
Northbound train take me home again

My whole life′s been one long storm
My whole life's been one long storm
My whole life′s been one long storm
My whole life's been one long storm
My whole life′s been one long storm (my whole life)
My whole life's been one long storm (my whole life)
My whole life′s been one long storm (my whole life)
My whole life's been one long storm

'Cause you know
There′s only thing sadder
Than the cold and rain
And that′s the midnight whistle baby, well, on the train
