Cadd9                                         G
When I die lord won't you put my soul up on a train
          Cadd9                                      G
Won't you send it Southbound give it a cool bluesman name
          Cadd9                                                G
I've been lost out on those back roads so many times I've gone blind
           Cadd9                                                    G
Losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind

But on the South side of heaven won't you take me home
                Em7               Cadd9                      G
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's getting cold

(Cadd9  G  Cadd9  G )

Cadd9                                         G
Well I've been a desperado in West Texas for so long I need a change
          Cadd9                                      G
And for ten long years this old place ain't seen a drop of rain
          Cadd9                                                G
And that wind blows everyday Lord, like a desert snow
          Cadd9                                                    G
Like a lost bound train running on cocaine and out of control

Cadd9                                         G
Along those Louisiana byways and those lonesome highways roll on
          Cadd9                                      G
Won't you take me where the poor man lives it's where I call home
          Cadd9                                      G
And can't you see that a breeze is just a change in pace
          Cadd9                                      G
And money can't buy my soul because it comes from a hard earned place

(Refrão)
