Lyrics
Southbound
Hear the clickety-clack on the railroad track
Means the wheels are rollin' and I'm goin' back
To the girl I left in a rundown shack, I'm southbound (southbound)
As the miles rush by I miss her more and more
Tears in my eyes and my heart is sore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door, I'm southbound (southbound)
Southbound to my baby
Southbound, I'm nearly crazy
Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go
Never gonna leave her, never ever anymore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door, I'm southbound (southbound)
Now the rhythm of the wheels call a memory
Every mile it comes a little closer to me
Soon it's gonna be reality, I'm southbound (southbound)
My heart keeps sayin', "Boy, you made a mistake"
Thought you was a rambler but you're only a fake
This will be the last trip I'm a gonna make I'm southbound (southbound)
Southbound to my baby
Southbound, I'm nearly crazy
Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go
Never gonna leave her, never ever anymore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door, I'm southbound (southbound)
Now the night that I left her, well, she pleaded with me
I know that you're leavin' but it has to be
I'm hopin' that she is still-a waitin' for me I'm southbound (southbound)
It's hard to wait till I can see her face
I still remember how her sweet lips taste
Not another day am I gonna waste, I'm southbound (southbound)
Southbound to my baby
Southbound, I'm nearly crazy
Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go
Never gonna leave her, never ever anymore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door, I'm southbound (southbound)
