Southbound Lyrics - Sammy Kershaw

Grease in our hair, hands in our pockets 

We stood and stared at cars goin' past 

We placed our bets, where they were headed 

And held our cigarettes like movie stars 

Grandmother's hands hard from the garden 

She had a plan for me to preach one day 

She prayed for rain, she watched and she waited 

And never complained when it did not fall 

Southbound breezes blowing 

This town ain't my home 

You can slow me down, but I'm going 

If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound 

Stories I tell, reek of nostalgia 

And those that know me well, have heard 'em all before 

How far I've come, mostly I'm proud of 

But where I'm comin' from is calling me 

Southbound breezes blowing 

This town ain't my home 

You can slow me down, but I'm going 

If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound 

You can slow me down, but I'm going 

If I can turn this road I'm on 

If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound 

Southbound breezes blowing 

This town ain't my home 

You can slow me down, but I'm going 

If I can turn this road I'm on Southbound
