Southbound Train

My daddy was an engineer for the southbound train
He steamed the mountains and rolled through the plains
He was just eighteen when he made his first debut
How I wish he could see me now

Cause I ride the southbound train
Everyday when the sun goes down
Miles and miles my old hometown
And I'll search every phonebook I pass
Just trying to find his name
Cause the only thing I know
Is my daddy drove the southbound train

My daddy was an engineer for the southbound train
He steamed the mountains and cut through the plains
And I'd love to know why he had to go away
And never said goodbye

And I love him, even though he's gone
You know I miss him, ramblin along
You know I want to know that man

So I ride the southbound train
Everyday when the sun goes down
Miles and miles my old hometown
And I'll search every phonebook I pass
Just trying to find his name
Cause the only thing I know
Is my daddy drove the southbound train
