[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G
When I die lord won’t you put my soul up on a train
Cadd9 G
Won’t you send it Southbound give it a cool bluesman name
Cadd9 G
I’ve been lost out on those back roads so many times I've gone blind
Cadd9 G
Losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G
But on the South side of heaven won’t you take me home
Em7 Cadd9 G
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's getting cold
Cadd9 Gsus2/C Cadd9 Gsus2/C x2
[Verse 2]
Well I've been a desperado in West Texas for so long I need a change
And for ten long years this old place ain’t seen a drop of rain
And that wind blows everyday Lord, like a desert snow
Like a lost bound train running on cocaine and out of control
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G
But on the South side of heaven won’t you take me home
Em7 Cadd9 G
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's getting cold
Cadd9 Gsus2/C Cadd9 Gsus2/C x2
[Verse 3] (half time)
Along those Louisiana byways and those lonesome highways roll on
Won’t you take me where the poor man lives it’s where I call home
And can't you see that a breeze is just a change in pace
And money can’t buy my soul because it comes from a hard earned place
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G
But on the South side of heaven won’t you take me home
Em7 Cadd9 G
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's getting cold
