Southbound Lyrics

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 southboundAs 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(Chorus)
Southbound, to my baby
Southbound, I'm nearly crazy
Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go
Never gonnna leave her, never ever anymore
Soon I'll be a-knockin' on her front door
I'm southboundNow the rhythm of the wheels call a memory
Ev'ry mile it comes a little closer to me
Soon it's gonna be reality
I'm southboundMy heart keeps sayin', boy, you made a mistake
Thought you were a rambler, but you're only a fake
This'll be the last trip I'm a-gonna make

I'm southbound(Repeat chorus)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's still a-waitin' for me
I'm southboundIt'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(Repeat chorus)
