Southbound

I'm headed southbound

Long way to go down

Where the weather

Don't suit my clothes

Police can't catch me

Lord, how they tried

They always miss me when I am passing by

I'm passing by

I threw all my things

In a vacant lot

Down one last dollar boys

And that is all I got

Well I found all my friends

Just so I could say goodbye

I couldn't hold it down, girl

God, how I tried

Some got religion

And they just can't win

Well I take to hard drinking

And I push my feelings in

I'm leaving town

And all people that I know

Well I'm drunk as hell tonight

And that freight train, my home

I'm headed southbound

Long way to go down

Where the weather

Don't suit my clothes

Police can't catch me

Lord, how they tried

They always miss me when I'm passing by

I'm passing by

Rains pouring hard

Makes those steel rails shine

Nine hundred more miles

And I'll be doing just fine

And if the moon and the stars

Are the only shelter that I know

I guess I got this whole world

And you to call my home

You to call my home

You to call my home

You to call my home
