CORRECT LYRICS

Lyrics : Southbound Train

Singing old gospel songs
Stoned on blue ribbon beer
People don't get me wrong
God knows I'm stoned sincere
Let the neighbors talk
Ask the preacher man to pray
When I die just gather my family
And sing Amazing Grace

But when I die lay my soul on a southbound train
Dont'cha cry mama, Jesus kill't the pain
You can bury my body in Detroit city in the early mornin' rain
Oh but when I die lay my soul on a southbound train

I got my old flattop Gibson
On the back porch, playin' blues
It's too cool to go barefoot
But I ain't wearin' no shoes

Just mellowin' out and rollin' down
The backroads of my mind
Past them old churchyards and honky-tonks
And bullet-riddled roadsigns

Oh but when I die lay my soul on a southbound train
Dont'cha cry mammy, Jesus kill't the pain
You can bury my body in Detroit city in the mornin' rain
When I die just lay my soul on a southbound train
When I die lay my soul on that southbound train
Dont'cha cry, Jesus killed the pain
Bury my body in Detroit city in the mornin' rain
When I die lay my soul on a southbound train
Oh when I die just lay my soul on a southbound train
