The boom time it is over
A ghost town is all that's here
The gold rush it is over
And depression days draw near So, tonight after sundown
I'm gonna pack my case
Without a word, without a sound
Disappear without a trace Ohh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southbound Driftin' like a drover
Chasin' my career
From the ships docked in the harbor
New horizons will appear Tumbling with the tumbleweed
Down the open road
I'll be taking just what I need
Before my head explodes Ohh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southbound
Southbound Ohh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southbound Hey, you're not getting any younger
The wild west has already been won
Northern nights are growin' colder
And the old eastern ways are gone So, tonight after sundown
I'm gonna pack my case
Without a word, without a sound
Disappear without a trace Ohh oh, I'm going southbound
Ohh oh, I'm going southbound New horizons will appear
Oh, I go to south from here
Without a word, without a sound
I'll get to leave this ghost town Woh ohh oh, let's to go down to the old
I got to go, oh you know
I'm southbound, southbound
