Travis Tritt - Southbound Train Lyrics
Well she was born in a north woods townTwenty-one winters agoAnd she grew tired of the freezing coldAnd living in the blinding snowBut this girl knew she wouldn't be there long'Cause she had plans and dreamsAnd she'd seen pictures of the sunshine stateIn the pages of the magazineSo she waited them tables and she used her smileSaving every penny she canFor a one-way Dixie bound Amtrak ticketHeaded for the promised landHer momma and daddy begged her not to goWhen the day she dreamed of cameAnd she waved goodbye sittin' way up highFrom the window of a southbound trainNow she's got a fire burnin' deep insideRidin' on a southbound trainAnd the clickity-clack of that railroad trackOnly helps to fan the flamesNo more worries, no more caresShe left them up in Bangor, MaineNow she's startin' a brand new lifeRidin' on a southbound trainWhoa...She said, 'Hello sun, good mornin' DaytonaYou're sure lookin' good to meWith your ocean breeze and your tall palm treesAnd your southern hospitality'Now she's a knockout queenie in a string bikiniShe's drivin' all the boys insaneAnd this all started with a small town dreamAnd a ticket on a southbound train'Cause she had a fire burnin' deep insideRidin' on a southbound trainAnd the clickity-clack of that railroad trackOnly helps to fan the flamesNo more worries, no more caresShe left them up in Bangor, MaineYeah she likes the boys with the southern drawlSoakin' up the sunshine, havin' a ballShe'll be the first to tell you that she owes it allTo ridin' on a southbound trainWhoa...oh...
