Southbound 35 Lyrics
What the hell am I doing 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 trying to prove here, do you really want to leave me here alone, I said I'm staring at this ocean full of Yankees, and I'd rather be in Texas on my own.
Chorus
So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road,
hit the border by the morning, let Texas fill my soul,
yeah let Texas fill my soul.
The tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving, she said I guess you better take me along, God might have made me born a Yankee, but it's time that I made Texas my home, So we loaded her stuff into my pickup, said good-bye to all my friends, called my brother down in Austin, said I'm headed home again.
Chorus
She had her feet up on the dashboard, she was holding my hand and wearing only a smile, she said it's gonna be hard to start all over, but the feeling I have will make it all worth while.
Chorus
TEXAS MUSIC FRIGGIN RULES! Country or Rock or Whatever, if its from Texas it kicks ASS!
looks like we've got a texaphile on our hands...
To me, this song is about home. While I remain in Texas year-round I can be gone for months at a time away at school. My little ritual upon returning home is to play this song the moment I hit 35, it makes the last 34 miles fly by and puts me in the best of moods.
TEXAS MUSIC IS COMIN' UP KIDS, Y'ALL BETTER WATCH OUT! This song is all about Texas, Southbound 35 and lovin' it!
To me this song is about a guy (pat) who has been on the road for a long time and is ready to get home. which i can totally relate to cuz when i come home from school on the weekends i can hardla wait to get there.
