THE SOUTHBOUND TRAIN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

When I came to New York city
thought that I could play their game
but this town aint got no pity
so I'll take the south bound train

won't take nothing to remind me
that I'll never be the same
gonna put it all behind me
when I board the southbound train

The southbound train rolls everyday
the southbound train went thataway
the southbound train can make or break or
take you away

I was happy in Kentucky
had no reason to complain
didn't know just how lucky
gonna take the southbound train

why did I ever think of leaving
to myself I can't explain
every day I will be grieving
till I board the southbound train

The southbound train rolls everyday
the southbound train went thataway
the southbound train can make or break or
take you away

if you find yourself in Brooklyn
and you're dying to escape
to the land of southern cooking
climb aboard the southbound train

I recall it was December
when my momma she did say
don't forget you must remember
come on back the southbound train

The southbound train rolls everyday
the southbound train went thataway
the southbound train can make or break or
take you away
