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
