"Northbound" lyrics

"Northbound"

M1 again
Gone 2 am
This lonesome road goes on forever
Espresso shot
With a petrol stop
'Cause I will make my way whatever
The road so dark
The night so deep
But I've got promises to keep
And I've got miles upon miles upon miles to go before I sleep

By night and day
By motorway
I'll get there any godforsaken way
By road or rail
By sea to sail
If there's a way home I won't fail
I'll take my time
Steady seventy, straight down the line
Only one thing on my mind
Hell or high water come down
I'm northbound

One more late night
On the northern line
And up to King's Cross I will follow
Guitar on back
And I'm right on track
Always racing with tomorrow
And coast to coast, I ride alone
Just one more ghost on the last train home
And I've got miles upon miles upon miles to go all on my own

By night and day
By motorway
I'll get there any godforsaken way
By road or rail
By sea to sail
If there's a way home I won't fail
I'll take my time
Steady seventy, straight down the line
Only one thing on my mind
Hell or high water come down
I'm northbound

And however far that I go
Toronto to Ohio
Vancouver to Chicago
Halfway to Colorado
And into Minnesota
And down through North Dakota
Into Buffalo, New York
I tell you every time we talk
If I could get to you, I'd walk

By night and day
By motorway
I'll get there any godforsaken way
By road or rail
By sea to sail
If there's a way home I won't fail
I'll take my time
Steady seventy, straight down the line
And only one thing on my mind
Hell or high water come down
I'm northbound
