Heading South
Co-written by Steve and Lauri Merrow
A
Roll me over and sit me up
Put a straw into my mouth
Fill the glass to the very top
G A
I’m gonna drink til the bottle and me go south
I’m fending for myself now
My babys left me on my own
His 30 years were gone in a flash
G A
All I have are the ashes for the wind to blow
C A
He’ll be going north
C A
I’m heading south
C A
When he was here I was good as gold
G A
But he’s gone now and I can’t keep the bottle from my mouth
G A
He’s gone and I can’t keep the bottle from my mouth.
The weight of this urn is heavy
Its more than anybody should bear
What’ll I do without my better half
G A
I may as well jump from the bridge while I’m here
With the very last breath he took
He said we’ll meet again someday
But my baby’s going to heaven
G A
And I know that I’ll be going the other way
