Doubles up to the bars
Kids wait in the car while he has a beer
Then we stop at Dairy Queen
For chocolate-dipped ice cream in a cone
We don't dare forget the cherry blossom for me
Living in a northern town
Long, slow trains, gold veins in the ground
Rivers run high, and I sleep to the sound
Oh, I wish you were still around
Uncle Sonny comes through the door
He can't walk anymore
Falls into a chair
Asked if I mind, if I had the time
Could I cut his hair?
Beer, steel, rye whiskey and Export
And cigarette smoke in the air
Living in a northern town
Long, slow trains, gold veins in the ground
Rivers run high, and I sleep to the sound
Oh, I wish you were still around
We'll dry ourselves 'til we run dry (Dry ourselves)
Hitchhike the rest of the way
We can sing songs of love (Sing songs)
We eat tunnels full of beer, pitching the sound
Some days that's what we'll do
When we have a few more bucks to our names
Oh, living in a northern town
Long, slow trains, gold veins in the ground
Rivers run high, and I sleep to the sound
Oh, I wish you were still around
We're sitting under the wheel
Wondering how far we will go
How cold it will get if we got wet?
Is it over our heads?
Oh, just so you know, I'm ready to go
Down if you stick around
Oh, living in a northern town
Long, slow trains, gold veins in the ground
Rivers run high, and I sleep to the sound
Oh, I wish you were still around
Oh, living in a northern town
Long, slow trains, gold veins in the ground
Rivers run high, and I sleep to the sound
Oh, I wish you were still around
I wish you were still around
