Jamestown Revival - Northbound lyrics

They say there's a Mecca high up in the hills Where the strings ring out and it gives you chills Soon as I heard I set my mind to getting there Texas is a big ol' state A full day's drive it makes you wait To finally cross that New Mexico line Santa Fe will set you right She'll take you in to stay the night And leave your head still aching by the morn Some will say it's the altitude And howling at the midnight moon Either way, it's time to hit the road Heading north, it takes a while You might might as well sit back and smile Ain't no way to change the tide Best sit back, enjoy the ride Durango runs the narrow gauge Like a memory from a different age It feels a bit like stepping back in time Winding through the open road That mountain air will lighten your load As you're heading towards the San Juan county line But heading north, it takes a while You might might as well sit back and smile Ain't no way to change the tide Best sit back, enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride My final destination don't come easy, I'm afraid But I've heard that if it's good it's worth the wait Heading north, it takes a while You might might as well sit back and smile Ain't no way to change the tide Best sit back, enjoy the ride To a destination somewhere bound A mountain road, a little town Outside of nowhere, riverside Lean on back, enjoy the ride 'Cause heading north, it takes a while You might might as well sit back and smile Ain't no way to change the tide Best sit back, enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride Enjoy the ride
