lyrics

3,500 miles of shore
I dont really think we could ask for more
surrounded by fresh water seas
We got dunes, waterfalls, and plenty of trees
We got islands of mystery
The kind of music that will never let you sleep
Everything that would make it seem
Like we're living in a beautiful dream
We're not rubbing it in or trying to boast
We're just speaking of the love coming from the North Coast

North Coast I love you so
And I think of you every where I go

On the back forty were the music sprouts
The roots stand strong while the birds sing out
From motown city up to the bay
Everybody comes to see those players play
The horn section that never stops
Rain or shine they're going to make you drop
The earth works well when your on the farm
You're going to feel the love so don't be alarmed
If you want to dance and feel alive
Then get your ass out to Four Finger Five

We come from, we come from the north
We come from we come from the north

There's a little place we know called Kalamazoo
Where the sky is green and the grass is blue
When it gets late, real late at night
The T-Lo boys will make you feel alright
The best beer comes from Larry Bell
Don't ask him the secret cuz he'll never tell
But he's got the best crew in all the land
Always bringing in the best rock n roll bands
And the penthouse where we kick it downtown
We love you boys and we'll see you around

We come from, we come from the North
we come from, we come from the North

North Coast I love you so
and I think of you everwhere i go
North Coast I love you so
and I think of you everywhere i go
North Coast I love you So.
