Clark, Jr., Gary - Take Me Down Lyrics






When this train rolls down the track
I'm not coming back
Gotta one way ticket, I'm going home
Back where I started from

Oh, take me down south
When you take me home, Lord
When you take me home, Lord

The last time I saw you
I meant to say I love you
I've been right and I've been wrong
But I always miss you when I'm gone

Oh, take me down south
Take me down south
When you take me home
When you take me home, Lord

Oh, take me down south
Take me down south
Take me down south
Take me down south
Lord, when you take me home, yeah
When you take me home, yeah

Wanna be next to my baby, yeah

  1. N.... ....

    Let us pray for the 11 deceased workers on the Deepwater Horizon:


    Our Father in heaven,

    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    Forgive us our sins
    as we forgive those who sin against us.
    Save us from the time of trial
    and deliver us from evil.
    For the kingdom the power, and the glory are yours
    now and for ever.
    Amen.

    And no matter who reads this comment, please give the deceased a minute's silence:

    This song inspired me to play the guitar along with the musicians Hendrix and Clapton and Srv these men's song's showed me a way out of a dark time in my life. I am weak in my left arm due to a stroke so i can't play right handed but i can strum and pick with my left hand i also nearly died due to a heart surgery and bleeding issues i have 90% use back in my left arm now music has been therapy for me, Also RIP to the men who passed away during the accident of deep water horizon.

  4. S.... O....

    You're a professional reverse race card victim. You daddy's world was different from yours. You just capitalize off of gaslighting white people.
    Do you know how that makes me "feel", mf?

  42. K.... S....

    Just watched this movie again and noticed this song. It's a fantastic way to end this movie. Whoever was in charge of music, Steve Jablonsky I think, did an excellent job. And whoever was in charge of special effects, you too did an awesome job.

  43. D.... L....

    One of my all time favorites! So fitting for the movie!💔

  44. n.... n....

    This song makes me wanna visit the south and stay there. It's that country feels you have when you're listening to it. It's like you could hear the sound of the birds, contemplating the sunrise on your front porch, and a big field of 🌽 right in the middle of all that. That song makes me go places in my mind.

  45. K.... O....

    Cade os brasileiros!!,,

    I worked on the (3) Oil Rigs up in Alaska for 4 years. I was an EMT. 2 Weeks On/2 Weeks Off, sometimes it was 3 Weeks On/3 Weeks Off. Or! Sometimes I just worked 3 Weeks On with (1) Week off. Sometimes I was on a Remote Camp sight. Either location I was "WELL" aware of the dangers at all hours of the day that I resided on the job site. To chow hall, to my room where I slept to the my office on the job site. I always carried a back pack that would get me & about 13 others alive for days on end till help arrived. Even though at times I was responsible for a 500 Man Camp or a 320 Souls on a Rig. Who coming. And Who was waiting on a 'helo'. If you know what I mean.......?

  52. J.... C....

    this is a great song. I listen song such as this that remind me of what happen to honest hardworking blue collar men at the greed and ignorance of white collar ignorance

  60. J.... C....

    Gripping! Moving! A beautifully splendid arrangement with spectacular vocals. This is a soul-tugging song that brought tears to me eye the first time, and subsequent times, I heard it after I saw the movie "Deepwater Horizon."

  61. N.... M....

    Et oui je le découvre !!!!!!!honte à moi je sais!!!!!!Après le film ......une merveille a écouter sans modération !!!!!!!

  62. M.... P....

    Beyond perfection! I’m just dying to know if this is set in G or C and what harmonica he used........

  63. G.... J....

    I watched the movie and the song was so powerful I had to find out who sang it and say you're the best artist I've heard in years keep the good music coming

  64. Y.... s....

    Love this tune. No equal. Movie hit home. God Bless.

  68. k.... b....

    April is not a great month to be at sea... just watched Titanic and deep water horizon back to back 😔

    k.... b....

    Really Titanic really I'm a pipefitter this is what I do set pipe for that oil. Titanic was about rich assholes who said even God can't sink this ship. The deep water was men doing there fucking job to pay the bills and having a PB head honcho causing it all and never having to go to prison Now listen here fuck Titanic and fuck you get lost

  69. M.... D....

    Love it

  70. B.... ....

    I'm so happy I caught Bright lights big city on MTV at 5am, got to discover a genuine artist with real soul.

  71. t.... ....

    Anybody else here after watching "Chain of Command" on National Geographic?

  72. R.... D....

    115 people who don't have a 1 way ticket that's going home...

  76. T.... P....

    God, this is beautiful. Love this track

  77. W.... ....

    As a southern veteran, this is a great anthem when they lay me down.

  78. F.... F....

    I'm so puzzled that 109 people didn't like this song!!

    F.... F....

    I know. That's a sign they don't care about the environment. When it comes to oil spills, the worry for the environment becomes policy.

  79. G.... L....

    This...

  80. e.... ....

    This song feels like home.

    Interview with Clark Jr: "That means you gotta hit Broadway too, I guess."
    GCJ: "Hey, well you know what? All that time in choir, dancing around, and doing plays that all my guys used to give me a hard time for, maybe it’ll all pay off one day. (Laughs)"

    Mike Williams never again went back to sea.
    He now lives with his family in Texas.

    Andrea Fleytas lives in California.
    She no longer works in the oil industry.

    Jimmy Harrell continues to work for Transocean.

    BP supervisors Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine were indicted for manslaughter. By 2015, these charges were dismissed.

    11 men died aboard the Deepwater Horizon the night of April 20, 2010.

    Jason Anderson
    Aaron Dale Burkeen
    Donald Clark
    Stephen Ray Curtis
    Gordon Jones
    Roy Wyatt Kemp
    Karl Kleppinger, Jr.

    The blowout lasted for 87 days, spilling an estimated 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

    It was the worst oil disaster in U.S. history.

    N.... Z....

    Cant believe those charges where dismissed.

  85. D.... M....

  86. D.... M....

  87. M.... R....

    RIP to the falling angels in Deepwater Horizon 😔

  88. A.... B....

    I was getting stuff around the house cleaned up. Wasn't interested in the movie. Heard the song on the tail end of the credits, and got the bumps right away .

    Looked it up right immediately thought it was a white person . When I saw it was a Black/Dude, it F&@$# me up man ( I was going to down load it any ). Goes to show, and I've seen it countless times. Good music will come from the most unlikely sources.

    It's good music,and if you don't feel it ,then it's just me. It dredged something up for me .

    Good/Evening.......One

  89. S.... ....

    Well done man. Love the feel to your music, keep it up

  90. m.... c....

    amazing movie, amazing song
