Headed South (Featuring Abby Latocha)

I’m at the depot, in Moorefield, West Virginia
I hear the humming of the diesel
At the ticket booth, I buy a one-way trip to Asheville
I’m gonna leave it all behind
Asheville train carry me
Headed south is all I need

The car is swaying. I’m staring out the window
At the mountains and the rivers
I hear the horn blow.
That means another crossing
A rough spot in the road

Asheville train carry me
Headed south is all I need

Verse, chorus instrumental

I fell asleep and then I dream and wonder where you are
When I wake I realize I stayed right on this car

My eyes are open. In Moorefield West Virginia
Did I ever leave the station?
I see my ticket. The hole was punched for Asheville
But I sit here on the train

Asheville train carry me
Headed south not meant to be

Asheville train carry me
Headed South is not for me
