Put aside all you got
And listen to me my friend
Our days of being oh so motionless
Are coming to an end

Pockets full of dollar bills
Cause now we're both making pay
And soon enough we'll have to answer the call
Of the old highway

And a letter is all we'll leave behind
To be read by those who have stayed
And at the bottom written perfectly
These are the words it'll say

Good Lord we're southbound
Both agreeing that's what's best
The next train leaves in the morning
So let's go and get some rest

Now in Carolina we can wonder around without any doubt
But in the back of our minds we know what money we had is running out
Because paradise it don't last long when you're out there on your own
But I'll take it for a few short days even if it means that we'll be walking home
I'm confident cause there's a God watching over us
And that's all we need to know

So throw out those cigarettes
For this brief time I must survive
I'm headed south to find some peace and I
Plan on arriving alive

Good Lord we're southbound
Both agreeing that's what's best
The next train leaves in the morning
So let's go and get some rest
