Lyrics

Headed South
To clear my head

Shiftin’ gears
Crossin’ borders

Felt like
The best thing I ever did

Sunshine so hot
Searing through my skin

Didn’t care
I was where

I could re-begin again

Now I'm nearly broke
But still sittin’

In the driver’s seat with aces
See it on their faces
One by one

They can’t believe I did what I just did

This is the game
The odds I chose to play

But my hands are far too see-through
Oooooh, Mama Luck, I need you
I can’t believe I did what I just did

Guess I'm gonna find out
How far a man can go South
Before his compass runs out of road

When every new beginning
Starts without you winning
You wonder how far down
You gotta go

Still sittin’ in the driver’s seat
Wind in front of me

Burnin' up the asphalt
Underneath my feet

Forgetting my name
With every mile I pave

Mama
Grace this lost soul
With no right to be saved

Pray my North can’t find me
Pray it stays behind me

Wish there was a way
To turn off time

Tell myself I’m not runnin’
But if I stop, I know what’s comin’

Played the game and lost
Now I carry the cost

Of bad hands
Luckier and faster than the rest

Headed South
And made it there

Worst thing I ever did

Now there’s nowhere left to go
And I know
Ain’t nobody gonna find me here
Won't find me here

Mama
Ma-ma-ma-mama
Oooooh, Mama

Please don't try to find me

Here
