Karaoké Life in a Northern Town Sugarland

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

Pushing the town away

Away

Hey yah mah mah mah hey deeh dah nah yah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey deeh dah nah yah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey yah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey yah

Life in a northern town hey mah mah mah mah hey mah mah mah mah

They sat on the stony ground and he took a cigarette out and everyone else came down

To listen

It was the winter nineteen sixty three

He thought that the world would freeze

With John F Kennedy and the Beatles

With John F Kennedy and the Beatles

Hey yah mah mah mah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey yah mah hey yah

Life in a northern town hey mah mah mah mah hey mah mah mah mah

Hey yah mah mah mah

Hey yah mah mah mah

Hey yah mah mah

Hey deeh dah nah yah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey yah mah hey yah

They shut the factory down hey mah mah mah mah hey mah mah mah mah

The evening had turned to rain

Watch the water roll down the drain

As we followed him down to the station followed him down to the station

And he would never wave goodbye

You could see it

Written in his eyes

As the train rolled out of sight

Bye bye

Hey yah mah mah mah hey deeh dah nah yah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey deeh dah nah yah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey yah

Hey yah mah mah mah hey yah

Life in a northern town hey mah mah mah mah

Hey mah mah mah mah

Take it easy on yourself

Hey yah mah mah mah
