Southbound
Ben Barnes & The Stay All Night Rounders Lyrics

I'm heading southbound, long way to go
I am travelling towards the South with a considerable distance to cover.

Down to where the weather go'in suit my clothes
Moving to a location where the climatic conditions are suitable for my attire.

Police can't catch me Lord how they try
Law enforcement officers have repeatedly failed to apprehend me.

They always miss me when I'm passin by, I'm passin by
I manage to escape their notice every time they encounter me.

I threw all my things In a vacant lot
Abandoned all of my belongings in an unoccupied area.

Down one lost dollar boy and that is all I got
Having only one dollar in my possession.

Well I found all my friends just so I could say good bye
I reconnected with all my acquaintances for the purpose of bidding farewell.

I couldn't hold it down but good god how I try
Despite my best effort, I couldn't maintain stability in my life.

Some got religion and it just can't win
Certain individuals embrace religion without any favorable outcome.

Well I take to hard drinkin and I push my feelings in
I resort to excessive alcohol consumption to suppress my emotions.

I'm leaving town and all the people that I know and
Departing from the city and all the familiar people associated with it.

Well I'm drunk as hell tonight and that fright train my home
In an inebriated state and relying on a freight train for my transportation.

Rains pouring hard makes some steery sound
The downpour is causing ominous noises.

900 more miles and I'll be doing just fine
After travelling 900 miles, I will be in better shape.

And if the moon and the stars are the only shelter that I know
In the absence of any other haven, I take comfort in the celestial bodies.

I guess I got this whole world and you to call me home to call my home
The entire world and the person I seek solace from is my home.
