Sugarland - Life In A Northern Town (Live) lyrics

A Salvation Army band played And the children drank lemonade And the morning lasted all day, all day And through an open window came Like Sinatra in a younger day Pushing the town away, away Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah Life in a northern town Ah hey ma ma ma ma They sat on the stony ground And he took a cigarette out And everyone else came down to listen It was the winter 1963 It felt like the world would freeze With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah Life in a northern town Ah hey ma ma ma ma Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah They shut the factory down Ah hey ma ma ma ma The evening had turned to rain Watched the water roll down the drain As we followed him down... to the station And he would never wave goodbye You could see it written in his eyes As the train pulled out of sight, right by Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah Life in a northern town Ah-hey ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah Life in a northern town Ah hey ma ma ma ma Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah Life in a northern town Ah hey ma ma ma ma Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah Life in a northern town Ah hey ma ma ma ma
