Southbound 35: Story Behind the Song

歌詞

What the hell am I doing down in Kansas City Know damn well it ain't where I belong, no no Think I'll quit my job come five o'clock Find my lonely way back home Well, my baby said just what are you trying to prove here Really want to leave me here all alone Said I'm tired of staring at this ocean full of Yankees I'd rather be in Texas on my own, oh yeah Chorus: Now we were southbound 35 We were headed down the road Hit the border by the morning To let Texas fill my soul To let Texas fill my soul Well, the tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving She said I guess you better take me along She said that God might have made her born a little Yankee child She said it's time that I made Texas now her home So we loaded her stuff on down into my pickup truck Said adios to all my friends Called my brother Dave living down in *AUSTIN* Said I'm headed home again Chorus: Now we were southbound 35 We were headed down the road Hit the border by the morning To let Texas fill my soul To let Texas fill my soul Had her feet up on there on the dashboard Holding my hand and wearing only a smile Said it's gonna be hard just to start all over The feeling I have well it makes it all worthwhile Chorus: Now we were southbound 35 We were headed down the road Hit the border by the morning To let Texas fill my soul To let Texas fill my soul I got Texas in my soul I got Texas in my soul
