Now i've been here a month or more stocked in this ol' city
People who have to call it home they were ones i pitty
Lord i'm homesick blues're only songs i ever sing and pick
I get out and walk the streets like the blisters on my feet i'm southbound
[ banjo - dobro ]
Now i'm all right too late at night i'm sittin' by my window
I count sheep but i can't sleep but listen to the train though i began to fine
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 she's burnin' the ground and i don't mean maybe
Sure i'm glad i caught this train i wanna see my baby
Lord i'm lonesome i long to see those hills where i come from
Listen that engine's lonesome roar takin' me back home once more i'm southbound
