Southside of Heaven Lyrics

Southside Of Heaven By Ryan Bingham
Intro: (4X)
Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9, G (Harmonica comes in after first measure)
When I die lord won't you put my soul up on a train
Won't you send it Southbound give it a cool bluesman name
I've been lost out on those back roads so many times I've gone blind
Losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind
Chorus:
But on the South side of heaven won't you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin? cold
Short Break: Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9, G (2X)
Well I've been a desperado in west Texas for so long lord, I need a change
And for ten long years, this old place ain't seen a drop of rain
And that wind blows everyday Lord, oh like a desert snow
Like a lost bound train, running on cocaine and out of control
Chorus:
But on the South side of heaven won't you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin? cold
Long Break: Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9, G (4X, ending midway on Em while starting the next verse)
Play this next verse very slowly:
Along those Louisiana byways? lonesome highway's rollin? on
Won't you take me where the poor man lives? it's where I call home
And can't you see that a breeze? is nothin? but a change in pace
Money can't buy my soul? ?cause it comes from a hard earned place
Kick back up to the standard tempo for the rest of the song:
Chorus: (2X)
But on the South side of heaven won't you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord it's gettin? cold
Outro: Cadd9, G, Em, Cadd9 (Repeat until fade)
