Heading South On The Great North Road Lyrics - Sting

Many have gone before us now 

Many have tried and failed somehow 

Many a soul on the Queen's highway 

Where many a tail light glowed 

With the promise of a better life 

Heading South on the Great North Road 

South on the Great North Road 

 

Only the dark we left behind 

Will chase us as the road unwinds 

But out of sight is out of mind 

With many a debt still owed 

And the promise of a different life... 

Heading South on the Great North Road 

South on the Great North Road

Many a dog went wandering 

To sup on fortune's dregs 

And many a dog came straggling home 

His tail between his sorry legs 

 

Many a caged bird spread his wings 

Many a vain bird crowed 

And many a songbird lost her way 

Heading South on the Great North Road 

South on the Great North Road 

 

Many a band of brothers rode 

In many a painted wagon 

Many an unsecured load 

Whenever a climbing truck was slowed 

There was many a traveler's curse bestowed 

Heading South on the Great North Road 

South on the Great North Road

Many a transport greasy spoon 

Many a wasted afternoon 

Where many a maiden gave her heart 

And many a gift bestowed 

But a gift is a yoke to a traveling man 

Heading South on the Great North Road 

South on the Great North Road 

 

If we get back home, we'll tell our tales 

To all of those who'll listen 

The might have beens, the chances lost 

The monies that went missing 

 

All the memories we'll unload 

The wild oats that we'll claim we'd sowed 

The stages where we proudly strode 

As if our cups had over flowed 

With the promise of a different life... 

Heading South on the Great North Road 

South on the Great North Road
