There's a theme through the ages, I know every line But it's hard to embrace, for it's hard to define Give me 99 reasons for changing my mind And I'll give you another for being so blind If it's alright with you Then it's alright with me When it's hard to unravel the grass from the gravel I think it's time to be moving to the north country There are places on earth where the poets give birth To the songs of the river and where it should flow Would it make any difference if anyone knew Where this trail through the jungle was taking us to If it's alright with you Then it's alright with me When it's hard to unravel the grass from the gravel I think it's time to be moving to the north country There are kings in the land with their heads in the sand But there hearts in the hands of some rock and roll band Don't they all look the same when you mention their names And they try not to hear you while playing their games If it's alright with you Then it's alright with me When it's hard to unravel the grass from the gravel I think it's time to be moving to the north country When it's hard to unravel the grass from the gravel I think it's time to be moving to the north country
