Southbound

Oh, heavy gonna come for me
Oh, heavy gonna bring me down
Things that I've done they gonna lead me southbound
There's nothing standing in my way
But that old open road and the lonely highway
And I know nothing will be something soon
But by then, by God, I'll be lost and I'll be blue
Heaven's gonna turn me back
I've got someone to see down there
Do you understand that

After all, I gotta hit the road and ramble on

I had skeletons in the closet
Oh yeah, they're playin' on
Oh yeah they're playing on
Oh yeah, they're playing on

Oh, heavy gonna come for me
Oh, heavy gonna bring me down
If'n a highway to Hell, I'm on highway One southbound
It's trouble, that's the thing, it's trouble all I know
It seems that I'm always on the wrong side of the Straight and Narrow
And now so many years have gone, the weight is just too heavy to bear
One thing that I've learned is that the Shadow's hand
Well it doesn't care

After all, I gotta hit that road and ramble on

I had skeletons in the closet, oh yeah they're playin' on
Oh yeah they're playing on
Oh yeah they're playing on

Oh, heavy gonna come for me
Yeah, heavy gonna bring me down
I'm at the gates of the dead, I made it southbound
In the light the hidden hand; it makes a sign
Oh, in the dark the hidden hand; it pulls the strings
And one thing I've learned is that there is no escape from the unseen

Unless I have that open road in front of me

Heaven's gonna turn me back
They think that I made a deal with the devil
Can you believe that?

I gotta
Hit that road and ramble on

Cause I have skeletons in the closet
Oh yeah. They're playing on
Yeah, they're playing on
Oh yeah. They're playing on
They're playing on
