Life In A Northern Town Lyrics - Little Big Town

1 A Salvation Army band played and the children drank lemonade

2 And the morning lasted all day, all day

3 And through an open window came like Sinatra in a younger day

4 Pushing the town away, away

5 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night

6 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah

7 Life in a northern town

8 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma

9 They sat on the stony ground and he took a cigarette out

10 And everyone else came down to listen

11 It was the winter 1963, it felt like the world would freeze

12 With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah, yeah

13 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night

14 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah

15 Life in a northern town

16 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma

17 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night

18 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah

19 They shut the factory down

20 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma

21 The evening had turned to rain, watched the water roll down the drain

22 As they followed him down to the station

23 And he would never wave goodbye, you could see it written in his eyes

24 As the train pulled out of sight, bye, bye

25 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night

26 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah

27 Life in a northern town

28 Hey, ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself

29 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night

30 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah

31 Life in a northern town

32 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma

33 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night

34 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah

35 Life in a northern town

36 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma

37 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night

38 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah

39 Life in a northern town

40 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
