I'm going north tonight where it's lonely
The holy land of stone is calling me
And I ride on steel and silver wings
And I ride on the old gray ribbons north

I'm going north
I'm going north

Pack it up now I'm home 'cause I'm gonna be free
In the land where the big sky meets the sea
And even though my heart is heavy
I'm gonna leave my home

I'm going north
I'm going north
I'm going north

And the sun goes down way too fast
And the sun stays down too long
Yeah, Yeah

I'm gonna keep on movin' 'til I'm not around
Leave this dirty, tired town

Put your sugar down on my front seat
"Cause you truly know what's good for me
And we'll ride like ghosts on the steel rail
And we'll drive on the old gray ribbon north

I'm going north
I'm going north
