Charley Pride - On The Southbound Lyrics
Well I woke up this morning when the cold Chicago wind
Blew my newspaper blanket off my back
Through my dirty broken window the grey sun filtered in
As I dreamed about the Southbound railroad track
I could almost hear the crickets in a sleepy cottonfield
But today I'd give a fortune for a twenty five cent meal
And I wish I was a country boy again
So let me ride on the Southbound
Back to where I came from I don't care or where I am
So let me ride on the Southbound and put me off somewhere near Birmingham
What happened to my vision of a mansion on a hill
And the fame and fortune I came here to win
I've got nothing but the roaches running cross my window sill
And I wish I was a country boy again

Charley Pride On The Southbound Comments
thats a great song of Charlie doing a lovely job thanks for posting this up
Thank you for putting this on YouTube! I can't find this song in the iTunes store, but when I was a kid it was on an 8-track my parents owned and we used to listen to this 8-track all the time. This song just came to mind this morning when I woke, and I got on here and found it. Thanks again!(Update) Found it on ITunes Store finally! Had to look it up by song, and it appeared. Odd, it didn't come up by looking by name first try.
