North South East or West

(Harlan Howard)



North, south, east or west

Where can I forget her best?

North, south, east or west

Which way should I go

Lord, I just don't know.



They say that Maine is beautiful

And so is old Vermount

But beauty makes me think of her

And that's not what I want.



I've heard that California sun

Makes living seem worthwhile

But sunshine makes me think about

The way she used to smile.



North, south, east or west

Where can I forget her best?

North, south, east or west

Which way should I go

Lord, I just don't know.

They tell me Pennsicola Bay

Has sand that's snowy white

But I think about your soft white skin

And yearn to hold you tight.



I've heard that northern Canada

Gets forty five below

But cold would make me think about

The love I wanted so.



North, south, east or west

Where can I forget her best?

North, south, east or west

Which way should I go

Lord, I just don't know...
