"Southbound" lyrics

She'd outdrink any fool in Dublin
Pint after pint
She begs and pleads for me to quit my smoking
Then asks me for a light
I'd bet she's the Midwest's sweetest loving
Sweeter than red wine
She could give a damn less about my money
Only wants to spend my time

But the highway it's selling something
And lord I've got to buy

So I'm southbound
Away from a lover boy's dreams
Oh I'm southbound
To find what I need

She never gets mean even when she's cussing
Always just a little too kind
She lives her life with her mind wide open
Stands up for what's right
She swears up and down that she loves my strumming
But I can always tell when she's lying
She's tells me there's no point in running
There's no reason left to hide

But the highway it's selling something
And lord I've got to buy

So I'm southbound
Away from a lover boy's dreams
Oh I'm southbound
To find what I need

That highway, oh that highway, oh that highway
It's selling something
That highway, oh that highway, oh that highway
It's selling something

So I'm southbound
Away from a lover boy's dreams
Oh I'm southbound
To find what I need
Oh I'm southbound
To find what I need
