Lyrics

No goodbye, no headlines, just gone
I took the bare minimum for a man like me
A bag full of cash, a gun, old memories
Left the keys on the marble stand
Walked out without a second glance
Los Angeles looked cold tonight
Even under all those lights
Every block knew too much pain
Every street kept calling my name
Too many faces turned away
Too many debts I couldn't pay
Even blood don't feel like blood
My own sister gave me up
So I'm southbound tonight
Chasing calm, chase security
Before the enemies digs my grave
Before I die for these things I've done
Southbound tonight
While the wolves still wait to bite
Police circling every move I make
I know that if I stay, I'm gonna fall
Enemies are on my trail
Watching hard like hungry ghosts
Waiting for one slip, one call
One more step and it's all messed up
Cops creep through every deal
Questions close enough to feel
Friends talk less, doors close fast
Nothing golden ever lasts
I can read the air too clear
Death or chains are drawing near
And pride ain't worth the price no more
I've buried too much before
So I'm southbound tonight
Crossing lines before daylight
Leaving smoke where I once stood
Trying to choose what's left of good
Southbound tonight
No more empire, no more fight
If I stay, the city takes my breath
I'd rather run than wait for death
There's an old friend near the sea
Far from who I used to be
Says I can hide, says I can rest
Maybe heal what's in my chest
Mexico knows how to keep
Broken men and buried secrets deep
I'm southbound tonight
With regret beside me riding shotgun right
No parade, no tears, no crown
Just a king slipping out of town
Southbound tonight
Maybe wrong, maybe right
But if I want one more sunrise
I gotta leave this life behind
Palm trees fade in the rearview
And for the first time, I don't look back
