(4X)
Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9, G (Harmonica comes in after first measure)
When I die lord wont you put my soul up on a train
Wont you send it Southbound give it a cool bluesman name
Ive been lost out on those back roads so many times I've gone blind
Losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind
But on the South side of heaven wont you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin cold
Short Break: , , , , (2X)
Well I've been a desperado in west Texas for so long lord, I need a change
And for ten long years, this old place aint seen a drop of rain
And that wind blows everyday Lord, oh like a desert snow
Like a lost bound train, running on cocaine and out of control
But on the South side of heaven wont you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin cold
Long Break: Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9, G (4X, ending midway on Em while starting the next verse)
Play this next verse very slowly:
Along those Louisiana byways
lonesome highways rollin on
Wont you take me where the poor man lives
its where I call home
And can't you see that a breeze
is nothin but a change in pace
Money cant buy my soul
cause it comes from a hard earned place
Kick back up to the standard tempo for the rest of the song:
(2X)
But on the South side of heaven wont you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin cold
