Cheryl Wheeler - Northern Girl lyrics

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.
