Southern Bound — текст песни (Kenny Price)

I`m a walkin` southern bound down the highway
Cars and buses and the big trucks pass me by
I walk awhile then I thumb they must think I`m a bum
For no one will give this country boy a ride
I left to get a job in that big city cause Lucy`s dad said son don`t hang around
I got her letter in the mail today and he can`t keep me away
And tonight this lovesick boy is southern bound
Can`t afford a ticket on that Big Gray Dog
Where I`m a goin` they don`t know a freight train sound
I`m a long way from home cold and hungry and all alone
Tonight this country boy is southern bound
[ guitar ]
Now I know they`ll all be glad to see me it`s been so long since I left to roam
I can hear my mama cry as she kissed her boy goodbye
Tonight this country boy is a headed home
I`ve got just enough left to buy some coffee
I`ll spend that if this road goes through the town
Take some money if I grind all I have left is my pride
If I have to walk I will I`m southern bound
Can`t afford a ticket...
Tonight this country boy is southern bound
