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
|

|
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
