Lizzy Thin Southbound Lyrics

Southbound Lyrics

The boom time it is over 

 A ghost town is all that's left here 

 The gold rush it is over 

 And depression days draw near 

  

 Tonight after sundown 

 I'm going to pack my case 

 I leave without a sound 

 Disappear without a trace 

  

 I'm going southbound 

  

 Drifting like a drover 

 Chasing my career 

 From the ships docked in the harbour 

 New horizons will appear 

  

 Tumbling with the tumbleweed 

 Down the open road 

 Taking only what I need 

 Before my head ex plodes 

  

 I'm going southbound 

  

 Hey, you're not getting any younger 

 The wild west has already been won 

 Northern lights are growing colder 

 And the old eastern ways are gone 

  

 So tonight after sundown 

 You must go from this place 

 Without a tear, without a frown 

 Disappear without a trace
