Southern Train Lyrics by The Boxcars

It’s Just A Road

2013

There's a southern train leavin′ here this mornin'
It's heading south at ten forty-five
I want to be on board that engine when it leaves here
And ride her back home to Caroline
I want to feel that southern sunshine on my shoulders
And visit with those friends I used to know
I want to sit down on the front porch with my mother
And sing those gospel songs that she loves so
I want to walk those mountain trails and smell that laurel
Take off my shoes and wade those mountain streams
And listen to thе pine trees as they whisper
Wеlcome home my son, it's not a dream
Well I missed that southern train again this mornin′
This old cell'll be my home a long long time
But if I die now up here in this prison
Let me ride her back home one more time
