Southbound Lyrics - Hank Snow

Hear the clickety-clack on the railroad track 

Means the wheels are rollin' and I'm goin' back 

To the girl I left in a rundown shack 

I'm southbound 

As the miles rush by, I miss her more and more 

Tears in my eyes and my heart is sore 

Soon I'll be a-knockin' on her front door 

I'm southbound 

(Chorus) 

Southbound, to my baby 

Southbound, I'm nearly crazy 

Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go 

Never gonnna leave her, never ever anymore 

Soon I'll be a-knockin' on her front door 

I'm southbound 

Now the rhythm of the wheels call a memory 

Ev'ry mile it comes a little closer to me 

Soon it's gonna be reality 

I'm southbound 

My heart keeps sayin', boy, you made a mistake 

Thought you were a rambler, but you're only a fake 

This'll be the last trip I'm a-gonna make 

I'm southbound 

(Repeat chorus) 

Now the night that I left her, well, she pleaded with me 

I know that you're leavin', but it has to be 

I'm hopin' that she's still a-waitin' for me 

I'm southbound 

It's hard to wait 'till I can see her face 

I still remember how her sweet lips taste 

Not another day am I gonna waste 

I'm southbound 

(Repeat chorus)
