Southbound

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, let's go

[Verse 2]

Driftin' like a drover

Chasin' my career

From the ships docked in the harbour

New horizons will appear

Tumbling with the tumbleweed

Down the open road

Takin' only what I need

Before my head explodes

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' southbound, southbound (Southbound)

Southbound

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' southbound, southbound (Southbound)

[Verse 3]

Hey, you're not gettin' 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

You must go from this place

Without a tear, without a frown

Disappear without a trace

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' southbound, southbound (Southbound)

Oh, I'm goin' southbound (New horizons will appear)

Oh, I'm goin' southbound, here

Oh (Without a word, without a sound)

I'm goin' southbound, southbound (Southbound)

(I've got to leave this ghost town)

Oh, I'm goin' southbound (Woah, oh, oh, I'm goin' southbound)

I'm goin' southbound, southbound (Southbound)

(Let's go down there, sweet, oh)

I'm goin' southbound, southbound (Southbound, southbound)

Oh, I'm goin' southbound (Woah)
