Southside of Heaven

When I die, Lord, oh, won't you put my soul up on a train Won't you send it southbound, give it a cool blues-man name? 'Cause I've been lost on them back roads, so many times I've gone blind Losing faith in my family, had drew me out of my damn mind But on the Southside of Heaven Won't you take me home? 'Cause I've been broke down for so long And Lord, it's gettin' cold I've been a desperado in West Texas For so long, Lord, I need a change For ten long years, this old place ain't seen a drop of rain Now the wind blows every day, Lord, oh, like a desert snow Like a lost bound train, running on cocaine and out of control But on the Southside of Heaven Won't you take me home? 'Cause I've been broke down for so long And Lord, it's gettin' cold Long down the Louisiana byways Lonesome highways roll on Oh, won't you take me where the poor man lives It's where I call my home And can't you see that breeze Nothin' but a change in pace Money can't buy my soul 'Cause it comes from a hard earned place But on the Southside of Heaven Won't you take me home? 'Cause I've been gone for so long And Lord, it's gettin' cold But on the Southside of Heaven Won't you take me home? 'Cause I've been gone for so long And Lord, it's gettin' cold
