Southbound — текст песни (Hank Snow)

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

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

(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 southbound

Now 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 southbound

My 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 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

(Repeat chorus)
