Williams III, Hank - 87 Southbound Lyrics






Well, I caught you with him
On those damp satin sheets
So I packed my things
And then I hit the streets

87 southbound
To San Antone
It's getting late out
I ain't got no home

The pavement's burning at 92
I don't need to hear no more excuses
That I don't love you

Lord, the sun keeps beating me down
And it's hotter than hell
And if I'm lucky I'll catch a ride
But you can never tell

I'd rather be here with the bugs and flies
Than back there hearing your alibis
Heard all that, I'm gonna hear you say
I'm gonna take my pride and go the other way

87 southbound
To San Antone
It's getting late out
I'm forty miles from home

The rain keeps falling
Like the tears in my eyes
I'm just trying to wash away
The hurt from all your lies

Lightning streaks
Across the evening sky
And if I'm lucky I'll make it big
Or lay right down and die

I know when the morning comes
I'm gonna be a walking son of a gun
And afternoon comes rolling around
I'll have ten more miles and one more town

87 southbound
To San Antone
It's getting late out
I ain't got no home

The pavement's burning
At a hundred and two
I don't need to hear no more excuses
That I don't love you

I don't need to hear no more excuses
That I don't love you

  2. E.... L....

    Damp satin sheets
    Damn graphics

  3. J.... H....

    Now this is country music.

  4. T.... 9....

    This isn't modern country this 90s country. Today there is no one in the main stream making good music 🌩🌧

  5. R.... C....

    Much respect to Wayne the Train Hancock, for letting Hank cover this and other songs. This album I bought in 2001 after reading an interview with Shelton in GQ magazine, which I bought that night in Irving, Tx.

  6. J.... C....

    This was by far his best album

  7. J.... T....

    Almost as good as Wayne The Train.

  8. e.... s....

    Too bad there isn't more good country like this now. Although Hank 3 here sets the bar pretty high! There's still plenty of good country singers, rockabilly bands, etc...but they're way underappreciated

  9. M.... S....

    I hear you Jared. what Nashville calls country music these days is nothing but watered down southern rock

  10. M.... C....

    Makes me wanna start driftin again

  11. M.... H....

    Absolutely one of the goddamn best hillbilly singers of his age he is direct descendant of hillbilly royalty sounds just like his grandfather with that twang a missed voice in real country music

  12. r.... ....

    I am.of Mexican ancestry. Hank 3rd has some good fucking songs. Love his music. Respect.

  13. K.... A....

    this song brings back so many memories. i used to go see Hank III alot in the early 2000s. damn i miss that time in my life.

  14. b.... ....

    those be lightning clouds hank gonna wash away the hurt. Slow n steady now ease up.

  15. b.... ....

    slow trot to this steady as she goes hanky. them clouds comin in lookey yonder.

  16. F.... D....

    I'm gonna take my pride and go the other way!

  17. J.... W....

    I like this song thanks Hank

  18. M.... M....

    Hank won't even discuss this album because of his intense hatred of label owner, Mike Curb. I however, love this album and especially love this song. Take a chill pill Shelton!

  19. J.... C....

    Wayne the train baby!

    J.... C....

    James Coffee BRAINS

  20. O.... C....

    Enjoy his grandfather's music still. And I love his more rock twist. Have you seen pics? Outrageous resemblance to his grandad.

    O.... C....

    Orla Collins 🌹

    O.... C....

  21. A.... L....

    request his tunes on the radio. .....make em play it...👌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  22. A.... L....

    country hillbilly blues..... very coooooooooll

  23. S.... 4....

    Jared Ison I agree with you he is a great artist

  24. J.... I....

    Hank 3 is one of my favorites because he keeps the real country music coming. I generally don't like anything past 1980. But Hank 3 is one of my few exceptions. Wish there were more real country music artists left. Maybe country will have a revival here in ten years or so. Just wish country artists would play what the genuine country fans want to hear, not what the white trash that thinks wearing boots and daisy dukes to a field party would want to hear. God bless you Hank 3. I hope and pray there will be a Hank 4.

    J.... I....

    +Jared Ison I'm affraid there won't be Hank 4. III said he's got kids, but he's the last Hank. It was a long time ago though, he may change his mind

    J.... I....

    Jared Ison LIST

    J.... I....

    He has one son, but he's not into music...

    J.... I....

    @jared ison exactly! but have you heard of sturgil simpson he came about in 014 and he sounds liek hes straight out of the 80- 90s

    J.... I....

    Or as my old uncle used to call it, "drankin' music".

  25. C.... b....

    Wow my Uncle needs to listen to this There really is real country music left!!!!

  26. K.... B....

  28. A.... M....

    Happy I stubled onto this movie. Like You tube due to this sort of material.

    My good friend was formerly bullied. He said he was intending to get bigger. I chuckled... Until suddenly he gained 40lbs of pure lean muscle mass. He used the Muscle Building Bible - look for it in Google. No-one dares to intimidate him anymore. :-)

    I personally signed up a few days ago. See exactly what goes on. Plus this mans emails are fucking fascinating!

  29. D.... P....

    Hank3 and The Train, the only real country talent out there today.

  30. b.... s....

But then he packed on 40lbs of natural muscle. He used the Muscle Building Bible - Google it. No-one dares to bully the man anymore. :)
