Goin' Southbound Lyrics

Tell not a word that you heard it here

But there's big trunk waitin' tonight at the pier

Comin' in on an eastbound boat

Don't be late for delivery

Here, put this in yorur coat

It's a strange weight from an exotic locale

Don't worry 'bout the cops, 'cause they're in on it now

Just pick it up no later than tonight at 3 o'clock

And bring it to the warehouse...here, put this in your sock

No one left to save you

Nobody to return

You run so fast, you catch on fire

You just gotta burn

CHORUS

Goin' southbound

Follow that sound

Long line of cars just a movin' out of time

You got this job but you don't know how

And everybody does what nobody will allow

Full moon shines like a big cue ball

Someone fishin' on the pier, might as well stall

Reapint the car, change your license plate

How you spell relief?

Must be somethin' that you ate

All this is a secret

As common as that dirt

We'll rely on your expert eye

Here, put this in your shirt

CHORUS

Big yellow moon hangin' low in the sky

Sun'll rise soon, but nobody knows why

And we'll be waitin' so long,

Wait so long

We'll all be waitin' so long, wait so long

Wait so long

Now if you get caught don't tell 'em about me

the last one who did, well we tied him to a tree

Out in the high desert by an anthill

Haaven't been back there since

Guess he's swingin' there still

All this is a secret

As common as that dirt

We'll rely on your expert eye

Here, put this in your shirt

CHORUS
