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. 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
