I'm headed southbound, Long way to go down
Where the weather, Don’t suit my clothes
Police can't 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 can’t win, 
Well I take to hard drinking and I push my feelings in, 
I’m leaving town and all the people that I know, 
Well I’m [bad word] as [bad word] and I and that freight trade my home 

I’m headed southbound, Long way to go down
Where the weather, Don’t suit my clothes
Police can't 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 me home to call my home, You to call my home,
You to call my home.
