Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Southbound Train

I had a dream that I was in my Dixie home

When my sleep was shattered by the telephone

It was Samantha and she said darlin' boy

Can we get back together you're my pride and joy

Now I'm a southbound train

Just a rollin' down the line

Oh I'm a southbound train

Headin' to that gal of mine

Picked up my car keys threw on my coat and hat

And then I grabbed my suitcase and that was that

Ran to my old Ford and slid behind the wheel

Words can't tell you how I feel

Now I'm a southbound train

Just a rollin' down the line

Oh I'm a southbound train

Headin' to that gal of mine

Ooh, sounds like thunder in the night

Ooh, but there's no rain

Ooh, that rumble that you hear

It's me, I'm a southbound train

Well, I'm a southbound train

Just a rollin' down the line

Oh I'm a southbound train

Headin' to that gal of mine

Now I'm a southbound train

Just rumblin' down the track

Oh, I'm a southbound train

Ain't nothin' gonna hold me back
