Goin' Southbound Lyrics


Tell not a word that you heard it here
But there's a big truck waitin' tonight at the pier
Comin' in on an east-bound boat
Now, don't be late for deliverycchere, put this in your coat
It's a strange weight from an exotic locale
Don't worry about the cops, 'cause they're in on it, pal
Just pick it up no later than tonight at three o'clock
And bring it to the warehousecchere, put this in your sockNo one left to save you
Nobody will return
You run so fast, you catch on fire
You've just gotta burn
YeahccChorus:
Goin' southbound
Follow that sound
Long line of cars
Just a-movin' out of town
You've got this job
But you don't know how

And everybody does
What nobody will allowFull moon shines like a big cue ball
Someone fishin' on the pier, might as well stall
Repaint the car, change your license plate
How ya spell relief? must be somethin' that you ateAll this is a secret
As common as that dirt
We'll rely on your expert eye
Here, put this in your shirt
YeahccChorus repeat x2And we'll all be waiting so long
Wait so long
We'll all be waiting so long
Wait so long, wait so longNow if you get caught, don't tell 'em about me
The last one who did, well, we tied him to a tree
Out in the high desert, by an ant hill
Haven't been back there sinceccguess he's swingin' there stillAll this is a secret
As common as that dirt
We'll rely on your expert eye
Here, put this in your shirt
Yeahccyeah! yeah! yeah!Chorus repeat x2Goin' southbound...
We're goin' southbound...
We're goin' southbound...
We're goin' southbound...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Stan Ridgway's tenure with Wall of Voodoo may have launched him to semi-stardom, but his solo musical style is more blues rock, almost Americana-ish, than WoV's big hit "Mexican Radio." Multiple solo albums and collaborations later, Ridgway morphs with each release. Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Stan Ridgway was the original lead singer for the band Wall of Voodoo, singing on their debut EP and first two albums, including their only hit song, "Mexican Radio".
