"Southbound" lyrics
"Southbound"
I guess this is it
I guess this is the end of a long hard road
I've been looking for an answer from someone for so long
Knowing it ain't gonna show
When I came to the city
I was looking for a clue
But the scent's gone cold
And the streets are overflowing with women that look like you
So, goodbye, New York
I'm leaving on a midnight train
I took a bite of your apple
And before I knew what happened
I was caught up in your game
But I'm breaking free
No more can you hold me down
I'm rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound
When the summer came
And I first saw your face
I thought I had it figured out
Then came November and brought the rain
And now my mind is filled with doubt
I'm leaving for the last time
I know I said, "No more"
Maybe I'll come back
When the streets are packed
And my heartache ain't so sore
So, goodbye, New York
I'm leaving on a midnight train
I took a bite of the apple
And before I knew what happened
I was caught up in your game
But I'm breaking free
No more can you hold me down
I'm rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound
Goodbye, New York
I'm leaving on a midnight train
I took a bite of your apple
And before I knew what happened
I was caught up in your game
Caught up in your game
But I'm breaking free
No more can you hold me down
I'm rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound
I'm rolling down that line
Leaving my old life behind
On a freight a-headed southbound

Jon Pardi - "She Ain't In It" Appreciate your call, means a lot and all
Yeah, I got a minute
You and me can talk about anything you want
As long as she ain't in it
Say, it's been at least a month since I've had any fun
Buddy,...
Dylan Gossett - "Sweet Lady" Sweat-stained rope hats and
Parking lot smoke stacks
It ain't all it adds up to be
Wake up, air's too cold
Big trees and little roads
I swear to you, we've been out here for weeks
Lawn chairs out...
Chris Stapleton - "Starting Over" Well the road rolls out like a welcome mat
To a better place than the one we're at
And I ain't got no kinda plan
But I've had all of this town I can stand
And I got friends out on the coast
We can...
Midland - "Lonely For You Only" Going out every night don't fill the empty
Cause the thrill always ends when they say last call
And it's not like other girls they don't wanna know me
Waking up with strangers ain't no fix at all...
