Hank Snow - 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 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)
