Take Me Back to the Northland

from Lost and Found by Tommy Wiggins

/

lyrics

Don’t wanna talk to nobody
I don’t wanna answer the phone
I don’t care what’s in the mailbox
Just tell ‘em nobody’s home
Can’t you see I’m excited
I got that look in my eye
I got the traveling fever
But it’ll leave by and by

Shakes me up on the highway
It make me rattle and roll
I keep looking for the way
Don’t want a turnpike toll
There’s just too much commotion
For this backwater boy
I got the traveling fever
And it don’t leave me no joy

Take me back to the Northland
Back to where I belong
Take me back to my homeland
And let me sing my song
There’s just too much commotion
For the backwater boy
I got the traveling fever

Something ‘bout Minnesota
Way down deep in my heart
A little bit of Dakota
With me from the start
I love the hills of Wisconsin
I got a little place of my own
To shake the traveling fever
Lord, I don’t wanna roam

Take me back to the Northland
Back to where I belong
You take me back to my homeland
Let me sing my song
There’s just too much commotion
For the backwater boy
I got the traveling fever
