Push for PORTER

Down by the county bridge gondolas roll
Hauling down to Birmingham the dirty hal-slag coal
I shouldn't let them move me on come sunshine, rain or drought
'Cause just like the circle says Southern serves the South.

Hardship and troubles, Lord you know I've had some
Getting older every day I'm a fairweather bum
Let me tell you good people here it's just about time
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind

Forty miles an hour she's rolling down the line
Greasy rails, red clay trails through the long leaf pines
Anyplace that sunshine falls is where I long to be
Sunshine Southern Special wont you roll me to the sea

Lord I wish was living day by day someplace down the track
Come on gal, my old pal, Lord you know we'll not look back
I'll take down this old guitar I'll play her every day
Let a slow train through Georgia roll my blues aways
