Well I'm Southbound, Lord I'm comin' home to you.
Well I'm Southbound, baby, Lord I'm comin' home to you.
I got that old lonesome feelin' that's sometimes called the blues.

Well I been workin' every night, travelin' every day.
Yes I been workin' every night, traveling every day.
You can tell your other man, sweet daddy's on his way.
Aww, ya better believe.

Well I'm Southbound.
Whoa I'm Southbound.
Well you can tell your other man, Sweet daddy's on his way.

(Guitar

I'm coming home with a stone strapped onto my back
I'm coming home with a burning hope turning all my blues to black
I'm looking for a sacred hand to carve into my stone
A ghost of comfort angels breath to keep this life inside my chest

This world falls on me hopes of immortality
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me

Now I woke up in the middle of a dream scared the world was too much for me
Sejaraz said, "don't let go just plant the seeds and watch them grow"
I've slept in rainy canyonlands cold drenched to my skin
I always wake to find a face to calm these troubled lands

This world falls on me dreams of immortality
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me

Now I'm running to the end of the earth and I'm swimming to the edge of the sea
And I'm laughing I'm under starry skies this world was meant for me
Don't bury me (Carry me)

I wish I was a nomad, an indian, or a saint
The edge of death would disappear leave me nothing left to taint
I wish I was a nomad, an indian, or a saint
Give me walking shoes, feathered arms, and a key to heaven's gate

This world falls on me dreams of immortality
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me

Amy:
I'm running to the end of the Earth
And I'm swimming to the edge of the sea
I'm laughing I'm under starry skies
This world was meant for me
I got hopes of immortality
Emily:
This world falls on me dreams of immortality
Everywhere I turn all the beauty just keeps shaking me
This world falls on me dreams of immortality
Everywhere I turn
I got hopes of immortality
