North On 21 - Riley Green

Third night this week

I’m playin' this old bar again

A young newly wed couple showed up

Spotted the as soon as they walked in

They looked so in love

Young man looked up at me

He threw me a five

Asked if he could buy me a drink

He said I wish I could sing and play guitar, man you’ve got it made

He said, before we go and toast to that

There’s something I’ve gotta say

I’d give it all

I’d give it back

I’d make a call

Wouldn’t take me long to pack

And I’d give it up

I’d give it in

If only I

Could see her again

It just took this long to see

That this aint where I need to be

I’ve had too much fun

I’m headed north on 21

I amde a lot of good friends

But lost them just as fast

You can’t see the real world

Through the bottom of a glass

Aint even got a dog

'Cuz I’m always on the road

Don’t even call home

Aint been a letter wrote

But if I could see the bright lights of Montgomery, Alabam'

Take this long road back up home

And never take it down

I’d give it all

I’d give it back

I’d make a call

Wouldn’t take me long to pack

And I’d give it up

I’d give it in

If only I

Could see her again

It just took this long to see

That this aint where I need to be

I’ve had too much fun

I’m headed north on 21

It just took this long to see

That this bottles drowning me

I’ve had too much fun

I’m headed north on 21
