Wade Hayes: "Up North" Lyrics

(danny wells/jill wood)



In spite of the name, independence, kansas

Didnt grow many wild roses

But she was young and restless

And I loved her though holding her down was hopeless

I wanted her to say she couldnt live without

The life I had to offer but all she could talk about

Was faraway dreams, cities shed never seen

How do I find that girl when she could be



Out there anywhere she just up and left

She didnt leave a forwarding address

Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow

Which one of those four winds should I go chasing

She could be in a million places I guess

Up north, down south, back east, out west



She could be up in the windy city

Where the world spins a little bit faster

Or gettin a tan down in miami that might be where Id catch her

Maybe back in virginia, her cousin lives there

Out in arizona, shed fit in anywhere

Its anyones guess where she came to rest

My one chance for happiness is



Out there anywhere she just up and left

She didnt leave a forwarding address

Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow

Which one of those four winds should I go chasing

She could be in a million places I guess

Up north, down south, back east, out west



Im sitting here at a four-way intersection

Praying lord wont you point me in the right direction

She could be



Out there anywhere she just up and left

She didnt leave a forwarding address

Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow

Which one of those four winds should I go chasing

She could be in a million places I guess

Up north, down south, back east, out west

Up north, down south, back east, out west
