Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write as song about the migration of people, like myself, who moved from north to south. This can be sung by a man or a woman.

Song Description

Three stories, a battered wife who runs away. A factory worker who loses his job and moves south to pursue a music dream and finally the first person account of the singer who after realizing his life is still a head of him moves south.

Lyrics

Janey had a dream she'd never lived
She married young and she lived his
Took some hard knocks in a hard life
She ended up another battered wife
Well tonight she's stealing out
Gonna' find what she's about
She ain't never looking back again

Chorus
South bound she's headed out tonight
Gonna' chase to moon till it breathes daylight
South bound it's never too late
It's a one way drive down the interstate
She's going where the sun shines down
Headed south bound

Tommy had a job down at the mill
Just like his dad and his uncle Bill
But he had dreams of rock n' roll
Full of delta blues and Memphis soul
Well the factory went bust
You can almost hear it rust
Now he's off to chase a dream

Chorus
South bound he's headed out tonight
Gonna' chase to moon till it breathes daylight
South bound it's never too late
It's a one way drive down the interstate
He's going where the sun shines down
Headed south bound

Bridge
I've been 29 years nowhere bound
Ain't no one's baby in a nowhere town
Maybe it's time I looked me in the eye
And loaded up the truck and said goodbye

Chorus
South bound I'm headed out tonight
Gonna' chase to moon till it breathes daylight
South bound it's never too late
It's a one way drive down the interstate
I'm going where the sun shines down
Headed south bound

I'm going where the sun shines down
Headed south bound..... headed south bound...headed south bound
