South Bound
Thin Lizzy

The boom time, it is over

A ghost town is all that's left here

The gold rush, it is over

And depression days draw near


Tonight after sundown

I'm going to pack my case

I leave without a sound

Disappear without a trace


I'm going southbound


Drifting like a drover

Chasing my career

From the ships docked in the harbor

New horizons will appear


Tumbling with the tumbleweed


Down the open road

Taking only what I need

Before my head explodes


I'm going southbound


Hey, you're not getting any younger

The wild west has already been won

Northern lights are growing colder

And the old eastern ways are gone


So tonight after sundown

You must go from this place

Without a tear, without a frown

Disappear without a trace
