Southside Of Heaven

When I die, Lord

Oh, won't You put my soul up on a train

Won't You send it southbound

Give a cool blues man name

'Cause I've been lost on them back roads

And many times, I've gone blind

Losing faith in my family

Had drew me out my damn mind

But on the south side of heaven

Won't You take me home

'Cause I've been broke down for so long

And Lord, it's getting cold

I've been a desperado in West Texas

For so long, Lord, I need a change

For ten long years

This old place ain't seen a drop of rain

Now the wind blows everyday, Lord

Oh, like a desert snow

Like a lost bound train

Running on cocaine and out of control

But on the south side of heaven

Won't You take me home

'Cause I've been broke down for so long

And Lord, it's getting cold

Long down the Louisiana byways

Lonesome highways roll on

Oh, won't You take me where the poor man lives

It's where I call my home

Can't you see that breeze

Nothing but a change in pace

Money can't buy my soul

'Cause it comes from a hard earned place

But on the south side of heaven

Won't You take me home

'Cause I've been gone for so long

And Lord, it's getting cold

But on the south side of heaven

Won't You take me home

'Cause I've been gone for so long

And Lord, it's getting cold
