Lyrics
The boom time it is over
A ghost town is all that's left here
The gold rush it is over
And depression days draw near
Tonight after sundown
I'm gonna pack my case
I'll leave without a sound
Disappear without a trace
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
Oh, let's go
Driftin' like a drover
Chasin' my career
From the ships docked in the harbor
New horizons will appear
Tumbling with the tumbleweed
Down the open road
Taking only what I need
Before my head explodes
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
Southbound
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
Hey, you're not getting any younger
The wild west has already been won
Northern nights are growin' colder
And the old eastern ways are gone
So, tonight after sundown
You must go from this place
Without a tear, without a frown
Disappear without a trace
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
Oh oh, I'm going southbound
New horizons will appear
Oh, I'm going south from here
Without a word, without a sound
I'll get to leave this ghost town
Woh oh oh, I'm going southbound
Let's to go down to the old
I'm going southbound, southbound
