Southbound

          Am      Am9
I'm headed southbound
F           E
Long way to go, down
           Am
Where the weather
F             E
Don't suit my clothes
  Am                  F            E
Police can't catch me lord how they tried
F                        E
They always miss me when I'm passing by
G         Am
I'm passing by

( F  E  Am  F  E  E7 )

  Am                       F     E
I threw all my things in a bay - good life
Am                            F             E
Down one last dollar boys and that is all I got
         Am                      F              E
Well I found all my friends just so I could say goodbye
    F                                E   G
I couldn't hold it down, good god how I tried

Am                    F             E
Some got religion and they just cant win
       Am                          F              E
Well I take to hard drinking and I push my feelings in
Am                        F            E
I'm leaving town and all people that I know
          F                                E              G
Well I'm drunk as hell tonight and that freight train my home

[Chorus]
          Am
Im headed southbound
F               E
Long way to go down
           Am
Where the weather
F             E
Don't suit my clothes
               Am     F               E
Police can't catch me lord how they tried
F                        E
They always miss me when I'm passing by
  G        Am
I'm passing by

Am                              F           E
Rain's pouring hard makes those steel rails shine
  Am               F                  E
900 more miles and I'll be doing just fine
Am                                    F                 E
And if the moon and the stars are the only shelter that I know
   F                               E
L guess I got this whole world and you to call my home
G         Am
Call my home

F E               Am
     You to call my home
F E               Am
     You to call my home

[Ending] F  E  Am
