Southbound

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.
 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.
 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
