Southwind
[Verse 1]
Standing in the station at Jackson boulevard
I love to listen to the sound
The humming of the rail, like the wind behind a sail
Dreaming I could go and leave this town

[Chorus]
South wind
Blowing to my old Kentucky home
South wind
Wishing I had never left to roam

[Verse 2]
A child of seventeen, didn't know just want it means
To pack it up and leave my home behind
This factory life is cruel, got me working like a mule
This Windy City's made me so unkind
Walking down the sidetrack as she rolls into town
I love to hear that lonesome whistle whine
But when that factory whistle screams, I close my eyes and dream
I'm cruising down that L&N main line
