Lyrics
SOUTHBOUND TRAIN
1986 Anthony C. Griffin
Refrain:
Take that southbound train, shea019ll ride you through the rain
Put you on your doorstep again
Listen to that lonesome whine, dust those worries from your mind
And dream of days, you thought you left behind
(1) From those East Kentucky hills, you traveled to the mills
Left that coal dust, down in the mine
And youa019ve heard it said before, that what youa019re looking for
Cana019t be found, by workina019 on some line
Refrain
(2) Let your head lean back, as you roll across the track
The engineer, hea019ll ride you on back home
No matter what they say, you know youa019re on your way
When you climb on board, and hear that whistle moan
Refrain
(3) Tomorrow youa019ll be home, and not so all alone
And mother will be waiting there for you
With daddy by her side, gray hair and worried eyes
And words of love, to wash away the blues
Refrain
