The Road to the South

I was born at the end of the line
So at least the trains would always leave on time
We don't see people passing on through
They'd have nowhere else to move on to

See the road as your drivin' by the river
It's the same one you'll be leavin' on
I see your face as you push towards the bar
Glad you're still saying you've been gone to long
And you went too far, oh you went to far

And the road to the south, is paved with good intentions
So much grand inventions and schemes
But the road to the north, is filled with recollections
Long lost affections and dreams

I was born at the end of the line
Welcome to Tucson, that was the sign
But no gunslingers came riding through
They'd have nowhere else to ride on to

Oh, Smell the air as you're drivin' by the river
All you need to be is where you are
And hear the home, where home is an old familiar song
He's just saying that you went to far
And you stayed too long, oh you stayed too long

And the road to the south, is paved with good intentions
So much grand inventions and schemes
But the road to the north, is filled with recollections
Long lost affections and dreams

And dreams... dreams...

If I should pass you, going the other way
Give my regards to London Town
And if my fortune deserts me one day
I may be following, I may be following you down
