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.
(what do you think about it, son?)

( guitar)

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.

( guitar)

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.
(ride it on out of here, now!)
