[Verse 1]
M1 again
Gone 2 am
This lonesome road goes on forever
Espresso shot
With a petrol stop
'Cause I will make my way whatever
The road so dark
The night so deep
But I’ve got promises to keep
And I’ve got miles upon miles upon miles to go before I sleep

[Chorus]
By night and day
By motorway
I’ll get there any godforsaken way
By road or rail
By sea to sail
If there’s a way home I won’t fail
I’ll take my time
Steady seventy, straight down the line
Only one thing on my mind
Hell or high water come down
I’m northbound

[Verse 2]
One more late night
On the northern line
And up to King’s Cross I will follow
Guitar on back
And I’m right on track
Always racing with tomorrow
And coast to coast, I ride alone
Just one more ghost on the last train home
And I’ve got miles upon miles upon miles to go all on my own
[Chorus]
By night and day
By motorway
I’ll get there any godforsaken way
By road or rail
By sea to sail
If there’s a way home I won’t fail
I’ll take my time
Steady seventy, straight down the line
Only one thing on my mind
Hell or high water come down
I’m northbound

[Bridge]
And however far that I go
Toronto to Ohio
Vancouver to Chicago
Halfway to Colorado
And into Minnesota
And down through North Dakota
Into Buffalo, New York
I tell you every time we talk
If I could get to you, I’d walk

[Chorus]
By night and day
By motorway
I’ll get there any godforsaken way
By road or rail
By sea to sail
If there’s a way home I won’t fail
I’ll take my time
Steady seventy, straight down the line
And only one thing on my mind
Hell or high water come down
I’m northbound
