Well I'm Southbound, Lord I'm comin' home to you
Well I'm Southbound, baby, Lord I'm comin' home to you
I got that old lonesome feelin' that's sometimes called the blues

Well I been workin' every night, travelin' every day
Yes I been workin' every night, traveling every day
You can tell your other man, sweet daddy's on his way
Aww, ya better believe

Well I'm Southbound
Whoa I'm Southbound
Well you can tell your other man, Sweet daddy's on his way

(Guitar solo)

Got your hands full now baby, as soon as I hit that door
You'll have your hands full now woman, just as soon as I hit that door
Well I'm gonna make it on up to you for all the things you should have
Had before

Lord, I'm Southbound
Yes I'm Southbound
Whoa I'm Southbound, baby
Said I'm Southbound
Well I'm gonna make it on up to you for all the things you should
Have had before
