Southbound 35 Lyrics

What the hell am I doing up in Kansas City

Know damn well it ain't where I belong, no no

Think I'll quit my job come five o'clock

Find my lonely way back home

Well, my baby said just what are you trying to prove here

Really want to leave me here all alone 

Said I'm tired of staring at this ocean full of Yankees

I'd rather be in Texas on my own, oh yeah

Chorus:

Now we were southbound 35

We were headed down the road

Hit the border by the morning 

To let Texas fill my soul

To let Texas fill my soul

Well, the tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving

She said I guess you better take me along

She said that God might have made her born a little Yankee child

She said it's time that I made Texas now her home

So we loaded her stuff on down into my pickup truck

Said adios to all my friends

Called my brother Dave living down in *AUSTIN*

Said I'm headed home again

Chorus:

Now we were southbound 35

We were headed down the road

Hit the border by the morning 

To let Texas fill my soul

To let Texas fill my soul

Had her feet up on there on the dashboard

Holding my hand and wearing only a smile

Said it's gonna be hard just to start all over

The feeling I have well it makes it all worthwhile

Chorus:

Now we were southbound 35

We were headed down the road

Hit the border by the morning 

To let Texas fill my soul

To let Texas fill my soul

I got Texas in my soul

I got Texas in my soul
