Southern Bound Lyrics - Kenny Price

I'm a walkin' southern bound down the highway 

Cars and buses and the big trucks pass me by 

I walk awhile then I thumb they must think I'm a bum 

For no one will give this country boy a ride 

I left to get a job in that big city cause Lucy's dad said son don't hang around 

I got her letter in the mail today and he can't keep me away 

And tonight this lovesick boy is southern bound 

Can't afford a ticket on that Big Gray Dog 

Where I'm a goin' they don't know a freight train sound 

I'm a long way from home cold and hungry and all alone 

Tonight this country boy is southern bound 

[ guitar ] 

Now I know they'll all be glad to see me it's been so long since I left to roam 

I can hear my mama cry as she kissed her boy goodbye 

Tonight this country boy is a headed home 

I've got just enough left to buy some coffee 

I'll spend that if this road goes through the town 

Take some money if I grind all I have left is my pride 

If I have to walk I will I'm southern bound 

Can't afford a ticket... 

Tonight this country boy is southern bound
