Lyrics Southbound Train - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Southbound Train

I had a dream that I was in my Dixie home
When my sleep was shattered by the telephone
It was Samantha and she said darlin' boy
Can we get back together you’re my pride and joy
Now I’m a southbound train
Just a rollin' down the line
Oh I’m a southbound train
Headin' to that gal of mine
Picked up my car keys threw on my coat and hat
And then I grabbed my suitcase and that was that
Ran to my old Ford and slid behind the wheel
Words can’t tell you how I feel
Now I’m a southbound train
Just a rollin' down the line
Oh I’m a southbound train
Headin' to that gal of mine
Ooh, sounds like thunder in the night
Ooh, but there’s no rain
Ooh, that rumble that you hear
It’s me, I’m a southbound train
Well, I’m a southbound train
Just a rollin' down the line
Oh I’m a southbound train
Headin' to that gal of mine
Now I’m a southbound train
Just rumblin' down the track
Oh, I’m a southbound train
Ain’t nothin' gonna hold me back
