Southbound 35 - Kevin Fowler

What the hell am I doin' down in Kansas city?

I know damn well it ain’t where I belong

Think I’ll quit my job come 5 o’clock

Find my lonely way back home

My baby said just what are you tryin' to prove here?

Do you really want to leave me here alone?

I said I’m starin' at this ocean full of Yankees

I’d rather be in Texas on my own

So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road

Hit the border, by the mornin', let Texas fill my soul

Yeah let Texas fill my soul

Come on let’s go!

The tears start to flow about the time that I was leavin'

She said «I guess you better take me along»

God might have made her born a little Yankee child

But it’s time that I made Texas my home

So we loaded her stuff into my pickup

Said goodbye to all my friends

Called my brother down in Austin, Texas

Said «I'm headed home again»

So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road

Hit the border by the mornin', let Texas fill my soul

Yeah let Texas fill my soul

Come on let’s go!

She had her feet up on the dashboard

She was holdin' my hand and wearin' only a smile

She said it’s gonna be hard to start all over

But the feelin' I have well it makes it all worth while

So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road

Hit the border by the mornin', let Texas fill my soul

Yeah let Texas fill my soul

Come on let’s go!
