Porter Wagoner - Southern Bound lyrics

I'm a walkin' southern bound down the highway The cars and the buses and the big trucks pa** me by I walk awhile then I thumb, they must think I'm a bum 'Cause no one will give this country boy a ride Well, 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 they can't keep me away Tonight this country 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 Well, I know they will all be glad to see me It's been three long years since I left to roam I can hear my mama cry as she kissed her boy goodbye But tonight this country boy is headed home I've got just enough left to buy some coffee And I'll spend it 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 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 (Tonight this country boy is southern bound)
