Down by the county bridge Gondola Road Hauling down to Biringham the dirty ashlike coal I shouldn't have let him move me one come sunshine, rain or drought 'Cause just like the circle says southern serves the south Chorus: Hardship and troubles, lord you know I have some Getting older every day and a fairweather bum Let me tell you good people, here it's just about time time Catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind Forty miles an hour she's rolling down the line Greasy rail, red clack trails through the long leaf pines Anyplace that sunshine falls is where I long to be Sunshine southern special drove me to the sea Chorus Lord I wish was living day by day someplace down the track Come on gal, my old pal you know we'll not look back I'll take this old guitar I'll play her every day Like a slow train through Georgia roll my blues aways Chorus
