I want to talk to folks back home again, to walk along a lonely country lane

To spend some time with that woman of mine, heading south, heading south



Things look bright and I feel alright yeah I'm heading south



Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light,to join the singing at night

Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom

under the cumberland moon heading south, heading south



Give me room to travel on my way to a place where dreams all fade away

where the river flows and tobacco grows heading south heading south

Cause the sun is hot and people love a lot yeah I'm heading south



Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light, to join the singing at night

Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom under the cumberland moon

Heading south, heading south
