The Great North Road Songtext
von Steve Young

Shoulders getting heavy
Sun is dipping low
I know my place 123 lets go

She′s sitting looking nervous
Must be a first date
Her face is close on beautiful
As she waits

It's another day up the great north road
Flicker of a candle, lights lonely soul
Another day up the great north road
I′ll sing my songs to you and those you love

But I'm too old to care
Don't know where I′m going
My friends tell me I′m there

And the barman shouts '900′
God knows what that means
Another table pays the bill
Nodding thanks, to me, as they leave


It's another day up the great north road
Flicker of a candle, lights lonely soul
Another day up the great north road
Love will come and find you just don′t let go
Another day up the great north road
I'll sing my songs to you and those you love

Old man in the corner
I bet you′ve seen the world
You've been married 50 years
But she's still you′re girl

I haven′t spoken to a soul all night
But I've sang a million words
I hope I got it right
I hope I earned my worth

It′s another day up the great north road
Flicker of a candle, lights lonely soul
Another day up the great north road
Love will come and find you just don't let go
Another day up the great north road
I′m counting down the miles, trying to keep it slow
Another day up the great north road
I'll sing my songs to you and those you love
I′ll sing my songs to you and those you love
