When I die, Lord, oh, won't you put my soul up on a train
Won't you send it southbound, give it a cool blues-man name?
'Cause I've been lost on them back roads, so many times I've gone blind
Losing faith in my family, had drew me out of my damn mind
But on the Southside of Heaven
Won't you take me home?
'Cause I've been broke down for so long
And Lord, it's gettin' cold
I've been a desperado in West Texas
For so long, Lord, I need a change
For ten long years, this old place ain't seen a drop of rain
Now the wind blows every day, Lord, oh, like a desert snow
Like a lost bound train, running on cocaine and out of control
But on the Southside of Heaven
Won't you take me home?
'Cause I've been broke down for so long
And Lord, it's gettin' cold
Long down the Louisiana byways
Lonesome highways roll on
Oh, won't you take me where the poor man lives
It's where I call my home
And can't you see that breeze
Nothin' but a change in pace
Money can't buy my soul
'Cause it comes from a hard earned place
But on the Southside of Heaven
Won't you take me home?
'Cause I've been gone for so long
And Lord, it's gettin' cold
But on the Southside of Heaven
Won't you take me home?
'Cause I've been gone for so long
And Lord, it's gettin' cold
