Northern Boy

Northern hero, Northern boy
Through a town goin' nowhere, he flies
Steps out in the cold, head down, collar up
Another 12 for the man and he's home
But his eyes, they don't lie

Northern mother, you're the only God that I know
Makin' less than they've got go much further
Screams 'round her knees
Least she gets no sleep
She's puttin' pennies away for the summer
And her eyes, they don't lie
Her eyes, they don't lie

I don't wanna tell the world, I don't wanna be here no more
I don't want to tell the world the score
But I won't ever leave you alone
I don't wanna spill the beans, I don't wanna save the day
I don't want to chase my blues away and I won't ever leave you alone

I'm a Northern boy, and I've never had much
My dad's my hero, my mother is God
I was raised on the cheap
But my life is so sweet
And I wouldn't change my story for nothin'

'Cause my eyes, they don't lie
My eyes, they don't lie

Whoa, my eyes, they don't lie
My eyes, my eyes don't lie, no, they don't lie

I don't wanna tell the world, I don't wanna be here no more
I don't want to tell the world the score
But I won't lie
I don't wanna spill the beans, I don't wanna save the day
I don't want to chase my blues away and I won't lie

My eyes, my eyes don't lie, no, they don't lie
My eyes, my eyes don't lie, no, they don't lie

I don't wanna spill the beans, I don't wanna save the day
I don't want to chase my blues away and I won't lie
