Lyrics
Southbound Train Written By Jason Paulson
A lonely man from nowhere
His face all lined with pain
Lost his daughter long ago
His wife 2 years ago today
Makes his rounds like clock work
A paper bag in his hands
Heading down to the liquor store
Oh time and time again
He's just a little closer to free
Chorus
And it's just another shot of whiskey
Just enough to kill the pain
And it's just another shot of whiskey
Lord he's riding a Southbound Train
15 years together
They built a family and a home
But lately she's been going places
She's never really been before
His heart feels like it might stop beating
Sometimes he prays it does
So he won't have to hear the truth
From the woman that he loves
He's just a little closer to free
Chorus
And it's just another shot of whiskey
Just enough to kill the pain
And it's just another shot of whiskey
Lord he's riding a Southbound Train
Southbound train
Southbound train
Southbound train
Chorus
And it's just another shot of whiskey
Just enough to kill the pain
And it's just another shot of whiskey
Lord he's riding a Southbound Train
