Flying Burrito Brothers Northbound Bus written by Nickey Barclay
vocal by Gene Parsons
Catch a ride on a northbound bus
'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here
Could have cried for the way it was
But there's no one left to dry my tears
When I think of how it used to be
When we all played together just for fun
Didn't matter who was right or wrong
Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long
You and I were the best of friends
Well I think it was a thousand years
Now good bye this is where it ends
'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here
When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble
It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song
Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long
SOLO
When I think about the way I was paid for my trouble
It don't seem right and that's why I gotta sing this song
Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long
Catch a ride on a northbound bus
'Cause there's nothin' goin' on down here
Could have cried for the way it was
But there's no one left to dry my tears
When I think of how it used to be
When we all played together just for fun
Nobody had to come on strong
Now I gotta get away, I can't be what is coming
I think I've been around too long, around too long
