Kenny Price Southern Bound Lyrics

Southern Bound Lyrics

I'm a walkin' southern bound down the highway



Cars and buses and the big trucks pass me by



I walk awhile then I thumb they must think I'm a bum



For no one will give this country boy a ride



I left to get a job in that big city cause Lucy's dad said son don't hang
around



I got her letter in the mail today and he can't keep me away



And tonight this lovesick boy is southern bound



Can't afford a ticket on that Big Gray Dog



Where I'm a goin' they don't know a freight train sound



I'm a long way from home cold and hungry and all alone



Tonight this country boy is southern bound



[ guitar ]



Now I know they'll all be glad to see me it's been so long since I left to
roam



I can hear my mama cry as she kissed her boy goodbye



Tonight this country boy is a headed home



I've got just enough left to buy some coffee



I'll spend that if this road goes through the town



Take some money if I grind all I have left is my pride



If I have to walk I will I'm southern bound



Can't afford a ticket...



Tonight this country boy is southern bound
