Heading northbound on highway 16
I ain't travel too far ain't much i have seen
Many miles away lies my home
It's where I grew up and where I've outgrown
The green tinged northern lights outshine the moon
But don't worry mama I'll send you a postcard soon
Came here today by way of my black cadillac
With only my dirty old six string and the clothes on my back
I may just be passing through a sleepy old town
Or taking in big city lights that won't let me down
From prairies with fields of gold to St. Margaret's Bay
Don't worry mama your postcard is on its way
Been counting the days and I"m up to 135
Surprised I've hung on this long ya I'm still alive
My cadillac ran out of gas and the motor is blown
So I'll pick up my dusty old boots and walk on alone
And there's only a couple more miles by the light of the moon
And there's only a couple more chords till I'm done this tune
So don't worry mama cause I'll be home soon
There ain't no postcard mama, but I'll be seeing you soon
