Lyrics
Northridge
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP
I met you in a little town
Your smiles covering up my frown
Your eyes running up and down
Whether you knew it or not
Come with me to Northridge
Come with me to Northridge
It’s the place of my birth
I can’t believe what I’ve done to myself
You tried hard, still I died inside
Believe me when I say to you
I’ll still be strong, though I’ve cried
I feel like a hundred men
Thinking ‘bout where I’ve been
But inside of me I’ve got this locked
What can I do but talk?
The leaves they’re falling in my head
The rain it’s falling like I said
When will all the wind stop blowing?
When will I be free to get where I’m going?
