lyrics

THE SOUTHBOUND LANE (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI)

You and me is my favorite place to me
Girl, there’s no better company
To ease my mind and chase my sorrow
How I dream of you walkin’ there next to me
With no particular place to be
Underneath a southern sky

Baby, let’s drive in the southbound lane
Let’s get out of here
They’re callin’ for rain
Oh, the things we could see
If you only believed in me
Come on, baby, it’s a beautiful drive
It’s everything good about bein’ alive
Oh, the things we could be
If you only believed in me
We’d take the southbound lane

It ain’t hard
We could buy us a little farm
Put a baby girl on your arm
Darlin’, let yourself imagine
Windows down, wind blowin’ your hair around
Listen to how the country sounds
On our way to somewhere better

If you’re tired of livin’ in your day-to-day
Girl, I’m up for drivin’ any time
I got the engine hummin’
I’ll keep the motor runnin’
Just in case you wanna take a drive

You and me is my favorite place to be

Oh, the things we could be
If you only believed in me
We’d take the southbound lane
