"Southside Of Heaven"

When I die, Lord, won't you put my soul up on a train
Won't you send it southbound, give it a cool blues-man name
'Cause I've been lost on them back roads so many times, I've gone blind
Losing faith in my family had driven me out of my damn mind

But on the south side of Heaven won't you take me home
'Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord, it's getting cold

I've been a desperado in West Texas for so long, Lord, I need a change
For ten long years this old place ain't seen a drop of rain
And that wind blows everyday, Lord, all like a desert snow
Like a lost bound train running on cocaine and out of control

But on the south side of Heaven won't you take me home
'Cause I've been goin' down for so long and Lord, it's getting cold

Long down the Louisiana byways
Lonesome highways roll on
Won't you take me where the poor man lives
It's where I call my home
And can't you see that a breeze
Nothin' but a change in pace
Money can't buy my soul
'Cause it comes from a hard earned place

But on the south side of Heaven won't you take me home
'Cause I've been gone for so long and Lord, it's getting cold
But on the south side of Heaven won't you take me home
'Cause I've been gone for so long and Lord, it's getting cold
