Southern Cross

I don’t like their way of livin’
I just don’t care anymore
I’m headed back
To the banks of Illidor
Pack me up some things
Get a guitar that sings
Ride a jalopy out to the West

I’ll find me a girl
Lay my head upon the floor
Let her send me to rest
I’ll buy the bullets
If she has a gun
I’m tired – I’m tired
Of the morning sun

I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love
I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love

Well, the green of the city
Ain’t the green of the land
Aw, I’m still young
But I’m green as I can
But I tend to get dark
And I tend to go far
As far as the nearest
Wyoming bar

You can have your cities
You can have your buildings too
Boy, I tell you –
My life here is through
I’ll find the highest mountain
Find a way up above
And not come down again
Not come down again

I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love
I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love

Oh, don’t you miss me
After I’m gone
You got all my money anyway
Aw, you got my kids
My house too
Ain’t no reason for me to stay
But if you ever dream
You’re all alone
Just remember my name
Know I’m flying
With the Southern Cross
Never come back again

I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love
I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love

But my love won’t leave
I’ll never leave
I’ll always be here with you
But ever you should find my grave
It’ll be covered with the morning dew
And the dew won’t be
The dew from above
It’ll be the dew from below
It’s born from my tears
My love and my fears
And now I have to go
Now I’m bound to go

I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love
I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love
I want to see the moon
When it rises above
The last girl I’ll ever love
The last girl I’ll ever love
The last girl – I’ll ever love
