Southbound 35

What the hell am I doin' down in Kansas city?
I know damn well it ain’t where I belong
Think I’ll quit my job come 5 o’clock
Find my lonely way back home
My baby said just what are you tryin' to prove here?
Do you really want to leave me here alone?
I said I’m starin' at this ocean full of Yankees
I’d rather be in Texas on my own
So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road
Hit the border, by the mornin', let Texas fill my soul
Yeah let Texas fill my soul
Come on let’s go!
The tears start to flow about the time that I was leavin'
She said «I guess you better take me along»
God might have made her born a little Yankee child
But it’s time that I made Texas my home
So we loaded her stuff into my pickup
Said goodbye to all my friends
Called my brother down in Austin, Texas
Said «I'm headed home again»
So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road
Hit the border by the mornin', let Texas fill my soul
Yeah let Texas fill my soul
Come on let’s go!
She had her feet up on the dashboard
She was holdin' my hand and wearin' only a smile
She said it’s gonna be hard to start all over
But the feelin' I have well it makes it all worth while
So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road
Hit the border by the mornin', let Texas fill my soul
Yeah let Texas fill my soul
Come on let’s go!
