North Coast

[Verse 1]
The North Coast was locked in a drivin' storm
Seems like years since I've been warm
Lookin' out my window at the drivin' snow
I got the old time reelin' to go

[Chorus 1]
I was hopin' it would not be long
Before I could hear the highway song
North Coast, North Coast, I am gone

[Verse 2]
Oh, well I stayed for a while in a south Texas town
With a Mexican mama, her skin was so brown
Her eyes were as deep and as true as the sea
And she was tryin' to get a hold on me, oh

[Chorus 2]
I started hopin' it would not be long
Before I could sing that highway song
North Coast, ah, North Coast, I am gone

[Bridge]
I'm thinkin' thoughts that I never ever thought
Would evеr cross my wanderin' mind
I know it's time to be back on thе road
To see the country and ease my worried, troubled mind

[Bridge]
I'm thinkin' thoughts that I never ever thought
Would ever cross my wanderin' mind
I know it's time to be back on the road
To see the country and ease my worried, troubled mind

[Verse 3]
Well, I played in the barrooms for quarters and beer
From Bangor, Maine, all the way down here
This Mexican sun, it's got me feelin' alright
I'll be back in San Francisco tonight

[Chorus 3]
I'll be hopin' it will not take long
'Fore I can hear the highway song
North Coast, North Coast, I am gone

[Alternate Chorus]
I said North Coast, North Coast
North Coast

[Outro]
North Coast, North Coast
North Coast, North Coast
North Coast, North Coast
North Coast, North Coast
North Coast, North Coast...
