southside of heaven

when i die lord won't you put my soul up on a train, won't you send it southbound, give it a cool blues-man name, i've been lost on them back roads so many times, i've gone blind, losing faith in my family had driven me out of 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, and that wind blows everyday lord, all like a desert snow, like a lost bound train running on cocaine and outta 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, won't you take me where the poor man lives, its where i call my home, and can't you see that a breeze, nothin' 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 broke down for so long and lord, it's getting cold
