Southbound |
| I’ve been here a month or more, stuck in this old city |
| The people that have to call it home they’re the ones I pity |
| Lord, I’m homesick, and the blues are the only songs I ever seem to pick |
| I get out and walk the street 'til I get blisters on my feet |
| I’m southbound |
| (What do you think about it, son?) |
| I’m all right 'til late at night I’m sitting by my window |
| Counting sheep but I couldn’t sleep for listening to that train blow |
| I begin to pine when I hear that big old engine rolling down the line |
| I’m going back to spend some time where I can have fun if I ain’t got a dime |
| I’m southbound |
| Southbound! |
| She’s burnin' the ground and I don’t mean maybe! |
| Sure I’m glad I caught this train cos I’d like to see my baby — |
| I’ve been lonesome, I long to see them hills that I come from |
| Listen to the engine rattle and roar, she’s taking me back home once more! |
| I’m southbound |
| (Ride it on out of here, now!) |
