Southbound 35

What the hell am I doing down in Kansas City
I know damn well it ain’t where I belong, no, no
I think I’ll quit my job come five o’clock
Find my lonely way back home
When 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 Yankee
And I’d rather be in Texas on my own»
Ya, now, we were southbound 35
We’ve been headin' down the road
Hit the border by the mornin'
Let Texas fill my soul, let Texas fill my soul
Come on, let’s go
When the tears start to flow about the time that I was leavin'
She said, «I guess you better take me along
'Cause God might have made her born
A little Yankee "
I said, «It's time that I made to Texas now my home»
So we loaded her stuff on down into my pickup, truck
Said good bye to all my friends
Called my brother Dave livin' down in Austin, Texas
Said, «I'm headed home again»
Ya, now, we were southbound 35
We’ve been headin' down the road
Hit the border by the mornin'
So let Texas fill my soul and let Texas fill my soul
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 will makes it all worth while
Oh ya, now, we were southbound 35
Headin' down the road
Hit the border by the mornin'
Let Texas fill my soul and let Texas fill my soul
Let Texas fill my soul, I got Texas in my soul
