Southside of Heaven

When I die, Lord Oh, won't You put my soul up on a train Won't You send it southbound Give a cool blues man name Been lost on them back roads So many times, I've gone blind Losing faith in my family Had driven me out my damn mind But on the south side of heaven Won't You take me home 'Cause I've been done for so long It's getting cold I've been a desperado in West Texas So long, I need a change For ten long years This place ain't seen a drop of rain Now the wind blows everyday, Lord Like a desert snow Like a lost bound train Running on cocaine and out of control On the south side of heaven Won't you take me home 'Cause I've been done for so long It's getting cold On the south side of heaven Won't you take me home 'Cause I've been done for so long It's getting cold The Louisiana byways By a Lonesome Texas highway roll on Won't You take me where the poor man lives It's where I call my home Can't you see that breeze It's nothing 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 gone for so long For too long But on the south side of heaven Won't You take me home 'Cause I've been gone for so long It's getting cold on the road Send me home Thank you so much for staying with me
