I'm headed southbound 
long way to go down 
where the weather don't suit my clothes 
police cant catch me 
Lord how they tried 
they always miss me 
when I'm passing by 
I'm passing by 

I threw all my things and i faked lie 
down one last dollar boys, and that is all i got, 
Well i found all my friends just so i could say goodbye 
I couldn't hold it down. Good god how I tried 

Some got religion and they just cant win
Well i take to hard drinking and i push my feelings in 
Im leaving town and all people that i know 
Well I'm [bad word] as [bad word] and i and that freight trade my home
Im headed southbound Long way to go down

where the weather don't suit my clothes 
Police cant catch me Lord how they tried 
They always miss me when I'm passing by I'm passing by

Rains' pouring hard makes no stearin sign 
900 more miles And I'll be doing just fine 
And if the moon and the stars are the only shelter that I know 
I guess i got this whole world and you to call my home call my home
