How Did I Get Here?

πŸ’·Β£πŸšƒπŸš‚β™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸš‚πŸšƒΒ£πŸ’·

Stepping On To The Platform At Preston

Thinking How I Actually Got Here

Train Stopped. Got Off Before Others Got On

Been Doing This For A Couple of Years

πŸš‚β™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸš‚

Through The Lakes The Avanti Speeding South

I Saw Llamas, Snow, And St Walburge's Spire

Tulketh Mill, Last Workplace In My Home Town

This Started On The Platform In Carlisle

πŸš‚β™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸš‚

Dropped Off The Northern Line Train As Far West

As It Goes, Along Hadrian's Wall

Roman Ruins And Sights Of Interest

At Times I Can Watch The River Tyne Flow

πŸš‚β™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸš‚

At Seven Thirty I Crossed That River

Nine Bridges Now Across The Mighty Tyne

From Platform Seven Newcastle Station

To Start My Journey, Yes I'm Feeling Fine

πŸš‚β™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸš‚

Before That I Got Off The Stagecoach Bus

Passing St. James' Park And The Strawberry

At This Time Of Day Dawn Still Looks Like Dusk

At The Eldon, Walked Along Grainger Street

πŸš‚β™ŽπŸ’œβ™‰πŸš‚

You Know I Bought My Ticket On My Phone

Forgot The Last Time I 'd A Cardboard One

One Whole Month Since I Bought It Now Has Gone

And With These Few Words My Ballad Is Done
