My Song by The Northerners Lyrics

NEW STRINGS ON AN OLD GUITAR
IT’S THE AGE OF OPEN DREAMS AND BEAT UP CARS
NERVOUS MOMS AS THE KIDS LEAVE THE BARS
BUT I NEED SOMETHING NEW

CIGARETTES AS RECORDS PLAY
WORKING CORNER STORE JOBS TO MAKE OUR PAY
WHAT WE DID YESTERDAY IS WHAT WE’LL DO TODAY
BUT I NEED SOMETHING NEW

AND I FEEL I’LL FREE MYSELF FROM THE BORDERLINE
AINT GETTING STUCK IN THE MUD

AND I FEEL LIKE ME AND YOU ARE JUST VICTIMS
OF A 21ST CENTURY BEING

SOMEBODY ELSE GONNA SING MY SONG
SO LOUD IT’S PLAYING OUT
AND I’VE BEEN SCREAMING OUT SOMETIMES
YOU BRING ME DOWN BUT THAT AIN’T GONNA LAST
YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE THAT I AIN’T GOTTA TELL YOU
THAT’S ALL I NEED FROM YOU
IT’S HERE I FELL IN LOVE AND FELL OUT OF IT
THERE’S A MORAL TO THE STORY I CAN’T ADMIT
THE SUNS COMMITED TREASON I NEED A CHANGE OF SEASON
THE CLOUDS NEVER HUNG SO LOW

SMILE TO MYSELF AS I TEST MY FAITH
ANOTHER ROAD FOR ME TO MEND AND BEND MY FAITH
JUST ANOTHER OPEN ROAD FOR ME TO TAKE
WHAT WAS DELAYED WAS NEVER DENIED

AND I FEEL I’LL FREE MYSELF FROM THE BORDER
OF HEARTACHE AND STARVATION

AND I FEEL LIKE ME AND YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
EVEN IF I HAVE TO DIE

SOMEBODY ELSE GONNA SING MY SONG
SO LOUD IT’S PLAYING OUT
AND I’VE BEEN SCREAMING OUT SOMETIMES
YOU BRING ME DOWN BUT THAT AIN’T GONNA LAST
YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE THAT I AIN’T GOTTA TELL YOU
THAT’S ALL I NEED FROM YOU
THAT’S ALL I NEED FROM YOU
THAT’S ALL I REALLY NEED FROM YOU
