When I die, Lord |
|
Oh, won't You put my soul up on a train |
|
Won't You send it southbound |
|
Give a cool blues man name |
|
'Cause I've been lost on them back roads |
|
And many times, I've gone blind |
|
Losing faith in my family |
|
Had drew me out my damn mind |
|
But on the south side of heaven |
|
Won't You take me home |
|
'Cause I've been broke down for so long |
|
And Lord, it's getting cold |
|
I've been a desperado in West Texas |
|
For so long, Lord, I need a change |
|
For ten long years |
|
This old place ain't seen a drop of rain |
|
Now the wind blows everyday, Lord |
|
Oh, like a desert snow |
|
Like a lost bound train |
|
Running on cocaine and out of control |
|
But on the south side of heaven |
|
Won't You take me home |
|
'Cause I've been broke down for so long |
|
And Lord, it's getting cold |
|
Long down the Louisiana byways |
|
Lonesome highways roll on |
|
Oh, won't You take me where the poor man lives |
|
It's where I call my home |
|
Can't you see that breeze |
|
Nothing but a change in pace |
|
Money can't buy my soul |
|
'Cause it comes from a hard earned place |
|
But on the south side of heaven |
|
Won't You take me home |
|
'Cause I've been gone for so long |
|
And Lord, it's getting cold |
|
But on the south side of heaven |
|
Won't You take me home |
|
'Cause I've been gone for so long |
|
And Lord, it's getting cold |
