SOUTHBOUND TRAIN (TRAVIS TRITT)

Del album Down the Road I Go 2000
Travis se ha ganado siempre un reputación de “new outlaw”
Nacido y cirado en Marietta, Georgia
De la generación de Garth Brooks y Alan Jackson, se diferenciaba de ellos por no llevar nunca sombrero.
Este tema, uno de los mas marchosos, está escrito con Charlie Daniels y se nota!!
Es la historia de una chica que deja Bangor Maine, en busca del sol, el calor del Sur y una nueva vida.
A pesar de que su familia se opone, se va en busca de su sueño.. Una mujer que vuelve locos a los hombres!
Relaciona el sonido del clickety clack del tren con el principio de su nueva vida!!

* Se baila con Clickety Clack

Letras:


Well She was born in a north-woods town twenty-one winters ago
She grew tired of the freezing cold and livin' in the blindin' snow
This girl knew she wouldn't be here long / cause she had plans and dreams
and She'd seen pictures of the sunshine state in the pages of a magazine

So she waited them tables and she used a smile savin any penny she can
For a one way dixie bound Amtrak ticket headed for the promised land
Her momma and daddy begged her not to go when the day she dreamed of came
But she waved good-bye sittin way up high /from the window of a south bound train

(chorus)

now Shes got a fire burnin' deep inside ridin' on a south bound train
And the clickety clack of that railroad track only helps to fan the flame
No more worries no more cares she left them up in Bangor Maine
Now shes startin' a brand new life Ridin' on a southbound train
solo
She said hello sun good mornin' daytona you're sure lookin' good to me
With your ocean breezes and your tall palm trees and your southern hospitality
Now she's a knockout queenie in her string bikini drivin' all the boys insane
And this all started with a small town dream and a ticket on a south bound train

(chorus)

Cause she had a fire burnin' deep inside ridin' on a southbound train
and the clickety-clack of that railroad track only helped to fan the flame
No more worries no more cares she left them up in Bangor Maine
Yeah she likes the boys with the southern drawl
Soakin' up the sunshine having a ball
She'll be the first to tell you that she owes it all
to ridin' on a southbound train
