The Big Wu - Bound for the South Lyrics

First night of my travelin’
At the sugar loaf motelRoom 21
My chair in the doorway
The leaves were swayin
For a northern son

Two days into travelin
Saint Louis got me loose Rock in my shoes
My hearts true to my Maybeline
But on the street I’m falling prey
To the devil moon

Cause I’m Bound for the south again

Five days into traveling
I can feel the Memphis sun, but I don’t feel free
I wanna tell ya that I empathize
With a heart that’s broken
And a past that bleeds

I’m bound for the south again

If I could share geneology
With the clarksdale bloodline -- Ol’ Bessie Smith
I promise you that I would make it live
And I know it wasn’t roses
But I’ll take some with

When I’m bound for the south again.
