Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I die, Lord, oh, won't You put my soul up on a train?
Send it southbound, give it a blues man name
Been lost on them back roads, and many times, I've gone blind
Losing faith in my family had driven me out my damn mind
[Chorus]
But on the south side of Heaven, won't You take me home?
'Cause I've been gone down for so long, it's getting cold
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 south side of Heaven, won't You take me home?
'Cause I've been gone for so long, it's getting cold
[Bridge]
And Louisiana byways
Oh, your lonesome Colorado highways
No long
Take me where the poor man lives
It's where I call my home
[Bridge]
And can't you see that breeze?
Nothing but a change in pace
Money can't buy my soul
'Cause it comes from a hard earned place
[Chorus]
But on the south side of Heaven, won't You take me home?
I've been gone for so long, for too long
On the south side of Heaven, take me home
I've been gone for so long, it's getting cold
Take us home
