The Big Wu - Bound For the South
First night of my travelin’
At the sugar loaf motel Room 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.
