My baby down on the south end
She said she'd wait for me, I know she's gonna wait for me

My baby she can't see my sin, can't see the devil underneath my skin
And I told her, and I'm gonna show her
It's getting heavier as I'm getting older
Gotta find her, hold her, hold her close, and let me tell you

These hard times, they're over
There'll be no more cry'n on my shoulder
These gray skys, their blow'n over
Be smooth sailin' from here till forever

My friends they all come and go, they all blow'n wind, they all open road
And they sing the songs right from their souls, let these wayward boys take you home

And I told her, and I'm gonna show her
It's getting heavier as I'm getting older
Gotta find her, hold her, hold her close, and let me tell you

These hard times, they're over
There'll be no more cry'n on my shoulder
These gray skies, their blow'n over
Be smooth sailin' from here till forever

Sun goes down, always come back up
Gonna see this town in the rearview of some old pick-up truck
We'll meet up on the greener side, and I'll be clean, we'll be fine, so fine

These hard times, they're over
There'll be no more cry'n on my shoulder
These gray skys, their blow'n over
Be smooth sailin' from here till forever

My baby down on the south end
She said she'd wait for me, I know she's gonna wait for me
