The boom time it is over
A ghost town is all that's here
The gold rush it is over
And depression days draw nearSo, tonight after sundown
I'm gonna pack my case
Without a word, without a sound
Disappear without a traceOhh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southboundDriftin' like a drover
Chasin' my career
From the ships docked in the harbor
New horizons will appearTumbling with the tumbleweed
Down the open road
I'll be taking just what I need
Before my head explodesOhh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southbound
SouthboundOhh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southboundHey, you're not getting any younger
The wild west has already been won
Northern nights are growin' colder
And the old eastern ways are goneSo, tonight after sundown
I'm gonna pack my case
Without a word, without a sound
Disappear without a traceOhh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southboundNew horizons will appear
Oh, I go to south from here
Without a word, without a sound
I'll get to leave this ghost townWoh ohh oh, let's to go down to the old
I got to go, oh you know
I'm southbound, southbound
