Southbound 35

What the hell am I doing down in Kansas City?

Know damn well it ain't where I belong

Think I'll quit my job come five o'clock

And find my lonely way back home

Well, my baby said, "Just what are you trying to prove here?"

"You really want to leave me here alone?"

I said, "I'm staring at this ocean full of Yankees"

"I'd rather be in Texas on my own"

Now we were Southbound 35

We were heading down the road

Hit the border by the morning

To let Texas fill my soul

To let Texas fill my soul

Well, the tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving

She said, "I guess you better take me along"

'Cause God might have made me born a Yankee

But it's time that I made Texas now my home"

So, we loaded her stuff on down into my pickup

We said goodbye to all my friends

Called my brother down in Austin

Said, "I'm headed home again", yeah

Now we were Southbound 35

We were heading down the road

Hit the border by the morning

To let Texas fill my soul

Yeah, let Texas fill my soul

She had her feet up on there on the dashboard

Well, she was holding my hand and wearing only a smile

She said, "It's gonna be hard just to start all over"

But the feeling I have, well, it makes it all worthwhile", yeah

Now we were Southbound 35

We were heading down the road

Hit the border by the morning

To let Texas fill my soul

Yeah, let Texas fill my soul

Yeah, let Texas fill my soul

I got Texas in my soul
