Southbound (717 Tapes)

Yeah, my mama said, "Don't worry, my sweet child

You'll face trials on the road for miles and miles

But don't look back on this worn down barn 'n' two lane town

Just keep rollin', rollin' southbound,"

Now I'm up here on this stage in shinin' lights

It's just you and me and a six-string here tonight

Life will come and pass you by

Unless you chase it down

So I'll keep rollin', rollin' southbound

Papa wore the tread off his old boots

And it would end it to get us through

He sent me on my way, and I'm here to make him proud

So I'll keep rollin', rollin' southbound, mm

Whoa, whoa-oh-oh

I can promise you won't think I ain't changin'

I'll always be that boy from Pennsylvania

I'll thank the Lord above for every face out in this crowd

And for their own, he keeps me rollin' southbound

So I'll keep rollin', rollin' southbound
