Southbound (Feat. Merle Watson)

I've been here a month or more
Stuck in this old city
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 sittin' by my window
Counted sheep but I couldn't sleep
For listenin' to that train blow

I begin to pine
When I hear that big old engine rollin' down the line
I'm a-goin' back and spend some time
Where I can have fun when I ain't got a dime
I'm southbound

Southbound, she's burnin' the ground
And I don't mean maybe
Sure am glad I caught this train
'Cause I want to see my baby

I've been lonesome
Long to see those hills that I come from
Listen to the engine rattle and roar
Takin' me back home once more
I'm southbound
