Sugarland - Life In A Northern Town

Sugarland - Life In A Northern Town Lyrics

(Feat. Little Big Town and Jake Owen)

A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
away

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Into the night
Ah hey ma ma ma hey ah
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Into the night
Ah hey ma ma ma hey ah
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Ah hey ma ma ma
Into the night
Ah hey ma ma ma hey ah
They shut the factory down.
Ah hey ma ma ma

The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye.

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Into the night
Ah ma ma ma hey ah
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Take it easy on your self
Ah hey ma ma ma
Into the night
Ah hey ma ma ma hey ah
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Into the night
Ah hey ma ma ma hey ah
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma
Into the Night
Ah hey ma ma ma hey ah
Life in a Northern Town
Ah hey ma ma ma

@GeeeKay except maybe the original, by the Dream Academy :3

[lucyfan1976]

AMAZING VERSION. OFCOURSE DREAM ACADEMY WAS GREAT AND THE ORIGINAL BUT THIS NEVER GETS OLD!!!!

[seuber21]

if this song was on all day ,i dont think i would change the station

[ChimeraAZ]

I love this group,.but this song is only great by Dream Academy.They made it feel as if something within you was crying out for times long lost. This version is way too honky tonk.

[DrFatStacks]

The original is definitely better but this is still good.

[BBJamesB]

@icspi1970 Nothing can beat the original but this is very good..

[jaydeebee69]

I wonder if these artists know who the lyrics are referencing. IMO, everybody should. Google Nick Drake. Thank me later :)
