Southbound (Live)

[Verse 1]

The boom time, it is over

A ghost town is all that's 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

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

[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

I'll be takin' just what I need

Before my head explodes

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Southbound

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' 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

I'm gonna pack my case

Without a word, without a sound

Disappear without a trace

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

Oh, I'm goin' southbound

New horizons will appear

Oh, I'm goin' south from here

Without a word, without a sound

I've got to leave this ghost town

Woah, oh, let's go down to Rio

I got to go, oh, you know

I wish I were bound, southbound
