[Verse 1]
Cadd9
When I die, Lord,
G
oh won't you put my soul up on a train
Cadd9
Won't you send it southbound
G
Give it cool bluesman name?
Cadd9
"Cause I've been lost on them back roads
G
So many times, I've gone blind
Cadd9
Losing faith in my family
Had driven me out of my damn mind
[Chorus]
G Em7 Cadd9
But on the south side of heaven
G
Won't you take me home?
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I've been broke down for so long
G
And Lord, it's getting cold
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
Cadd9
I've been a desperado in West Texas
G
For so long Lord, I need a change
Cadd9
For ten long years this old place ain't seen a drop of
G
rain
Cadd9
And that wind blows everyday Lord,
G
all like a desert snow
Cadd9
Like a lost bound train running on cocaine and outta
G
control
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
But on the south side of heaven
G
Won't you take me home?
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I've been broke down for so long
G
And Lord, it's getting cold

[Verse 3]
Em7 Cadd9
Long down the Louisiana byways
Lonesome highways roll on
G Cadd9
Won't you take me where the poor man lives
G
Its where I call my home
Cadd9
And can't you see that a breeze,
G
nothin' but a change in pace
Cadd9
Money can't buy my soul,
G
cause it comes from a hard earned place
[Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9 G
But on the south side of heaven won't you take me home
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I've been gone for so long and Lord,
G
it's getting cold
Em7 Cadd9 G
But on the south side of heaven won't you take me home
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I've been gone for so long and Lord,
G
it's getting cold
