Why are the rain clouds comin', pourin' down on me?
Why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way?
Where has the sunshine gone? Oh I can barely see,
This northern rain is fallin', and home is callin' me.
Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see.
Watchin' a small bird fly, above the fields and me
Walkin' a dusty road and there's nothin' 'round the bend
Except those golden tones of goin' home again.
Goin' home - goin' home
Muddy old river flowin' 'neath a fallen tree,
Sunflower garden growin' twice as tall as me
Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away.
Goin' home - goin' home
On a starry old summer evenin'
Hummin' warm and sweet
I hit the road believin' I was bound to leave
It took a new england sky to teach me how to say
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song - I've been too long away.
