Southbound

I've been here a month or more stuck in this ol' city

Folks that have to call this home, they the ones I pity Lord I'm homesick

and blues are the only tunes I ever seem to pick

I go out and walk the streets 'til I get blisters on my feet

I'm southbound

[ banjo - dobro ]I'm all right 'til late at night sittin' by my window

I count sheep but I can't sleep list'nin to that train blow I begin to pine



When I hear that great big engine rollin' down the line

I'm goin' back to spend some time where I can't fall

when I ain't got a dime

I'm southbound

[ ac.guitar - harmonica ]Southbound's burnin' the ground

Lord I don't mean maybe

Sure am glad I caught this train; gonna see my baby Lord I'm lonesome

and I long to see those hills where I come from

Listen the engine's rattle 'n roar,

carryin' me back home once more I'm southbound
