North of 80 Lyrics by Van Wagner

North of 80

2001

When Armstrong stepped on the moon
America stepped with him too
But the giant leap left some behind
Buried in the foothills of time
Not much has changed here today
Prosperity never seems to stay
100 miles off the map
But we all know exactly where we’re at
North of 80 it ain’t the same
I don’t know how else to put it to explain
There’s a different tune in the air
There’s a northеrn feel
That makes it real evеrywhere
Pennsylvania’s hard to call
Not just one shoe fits us all
7 worlds all in one
Sharing nothing but the air and the sun
The truth is most folks don’t see
Much more than the southern tier
Harrisburg to Philly and out to the West
But they forget about the part where I fit best
So next time you’re on the road
And feeling shaky in your soul
Take your watch and throw it away
Come up North just for a day
Once your life learns to breathe
You’ll find it so hard to leave
Don’t be surprised if your tracks disappear
And you’re surrounded by a future up here
