Southbound Lyrics - Thin Lizzy

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 

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

Driftin' like a drover 

Chasin' my career 

From the ships docked in the harbor 

New horizons will appear

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Tumbling with the tumbleweed 

Down the open road 

I'll be taking just what I need 

Before my head explodes 

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

Southbound 

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

Hey, you're not getting 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

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

Ohh oh, I'm going southbound 

New horizons will appear 

Oh, I go to south from here 

Without a word, without a sound 

I'll get to leave this ghost town 

Woh ohh oh, let's to go down to the old 

I got to go, oh you know 

I'm southbound, southbound
