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

So, tonight after sundown

I'm gonna pack my case

Without a word, without a sound

Disappear without a trace

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

Oh let's go

Driftin' like a drover

Chasin' my career

From the ships docked in the harbor

New horizons will appear

Tumbling with the tumbleweed

Down the open road

I'll be taking all what I need

Before my head explodes

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

Southbound

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

Hey, you're not getting any younger

The wild west has already been won

Northern nights are growin' colder

And the old eastern ways are gone

So, tonight after sundown

I'm gonna pack my case

Without a word, without a sound

Disappear without a trace

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound

New horizons will appear

Oh, I go to south from here

Without a word, without a sound

I'll get to leave this ghost town

Woh ohh oh, let's to go down to the old

I got to go, oh you know

I'm southbound, southbound
