North Country

The highways call me like a captain to a ship at sea
Glory don’t come for free
The places I’m from teaches it’s lessons
Turning boy into man
And I’d rather be alone
Rather be alone than at their feet
And I’d rather be at home
Rather be at home in the North Country
Yeah
Connect the dots of speckled spots
Polaris guides my way
To the place I need to stay
Where we got boundary waters
Workin' blue collars
For our sons and daughters day
And I’d rather be alone
Rather be alone than at their feet
And I’d rather be at home
Rather be at home in the North Country
Yeah
And I’d rather be alone
Rather be alone than at their feet
And I’d rather be at home
Rather be at home in the North Country

Begins in the land where I know I’m gonna life my life
I said the
M I S S I S S I P P I
Begins in the land where I know I’m gonna die
I said the
M I S S I S S I P P I
Begins in the land where I’m gonna live my life
I said the
M I S S I S S I P P I
Begins in the land where I know I’m gonna die
