Lyrics of On the southbound

Well i woke up this morning when the cold chicago wind
Blew my newspaper blanket off my back
Through my dirty broken window the grey sun filtered in
As i dreamed about the southbound railroad track
I could almost hear the crickets in a sleepy cotton field
As daddy drove our wagon to virginia
But today i'd give a fortune for a twenty five cent meal
And i wish i was a country boy again
So let me ride on the southbound
Back to where i came from i don't care or where i am
Let me ride on the southbound and put me off somewhere near birmingham

What happened to my vision of a mansion on a hill
And the fame and fortune i came here to win
I've got nothing but the roaches running cross my window sill
And i wish i was a country boy again
So let me ride
