Southbound Lyrics by Ty myers
I guess this is it
I guess this is the end of a long hard road
I’ve been looking for an answer from someone for so long
Knowing it ain’t gonna show
When I came to the city
I was looking for a clue
But the scent’s gone cold
And the streets are overflowing with women that look like you
So, goodbye, New York
I’m leaving on a midnight train
I took a bite of your apple
And before I knew what happened
I was caught up in your game
But I’m breaking free
No more can you hold me down
I’m rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound
When the summer came
And I first saw your face
I thought I had it figured out
Then came November and brought the rain
And now my mind is filled with doubt
I’m leaving for the last time
I know I said, “No more”
Maybe I’ll come back
When the streets are packed
And my heartache ain’t so sore
So, goodbye, New York
I’m leaving on a midnight train
I took a bite of the apple
And before I knew what happened
I was caught up in your game
But I’m breaking free
No more can you hold me down
I’m rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound
Goodbye, New York
I’m leaving on a midnight train
I took a bite of your apple
And before I knew what happened
I was caught up in your game
Caught up in your game
But I’m breaking free
No more can you hold me down
I’m rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound
I’m rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound
