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"
