Goin' South

She took a bus from her hometown

Packed up her jeans and an old nightgown

She left a note on the door

Said I won't be back here anymore

I'm getting out

Heading out

Goin' South

She took two books to pass the time

Gone with the Wind and a book of rhymes

For three days and two long nights

She slept she read, she stared at the lights

She said This must be

What it's all about

Goin' South

 

And in her south-bound state of mind

She is less confused

She's more defined

She's so amused

At all she's finding out

About herself

Goin' South

She settle in to a tiny place

Spanish moss and faded lace

Warm hearts and gentle smiles

She says she just might stay a while

Without a doubt

She'll always be

Goin' South
