GOING SOUTH by BRUCE COUGHLAN MUSIC published on 2013-01-10T16:07:57Z GOING SOUTH (Bruce Coughlan) These old shoes, have traveled around the block A time or two, they're scuffed-up and abused But with some luck There's still a mile or two left on the heels This old coat, was not made for cold weather And it's been hard, keepin' heart and soul together But with some luck I won't lose my shirt out of the deal I'm packing up my hopes And a pocket full of dreams I've got to move 'Cause I'm bursting at the seams Goin' south: Kick the dust off of these shoes Goin' south: 'Cause I've paid my share of dues The time is now, there's nothin' left to lose I'm goin' south This old car, could use a whole lot of work It's all worn out, from driving in circles But with some luck It's time I stopped spinning my wheels She's rusted out, and burnin' oil The tires are nearly bare With just that little stroke of luck She still might take me there Goin' south: I just might hit the road today Goin' south: 'Cause there's nothing in the way The time is now, I'll be shaking off these blues I'm goin' south There's banjo music drifting on a magnolia breeze It jingles and it chimes, as it whispers through the trees This old guitar has shared a whole lot of schemes We've been up, and we've been down Seen our share of broken dreams But this time I know she's gonna take me there Goin' south: Just head right out the door Goin' south: Push the peddle to the boards I'm heading out, and if you haven't heard by now I'm goin' south Goin' south: Kick the dust off of these shoes Goin' south: 'Cause I've paid my share of dues The time is now, there's nothin' left to lose I'm goin' south Genre Country
