Caleb Sam Brown - Hellbent and Southbound

Well I'm tired of black ties and overpriced suits
It's been too long since I put on my boots and blue jeans
And stepped into an old dance hall
I get off work every day at five
It takes me two hours to make that ten mile drive
To a little ol' place that don't feel like home at all
"Go on up north," everybody said
"Get you a job where you can use your head"
"Boy that city'll sure be good to you"
Now I'm always tired, and I could use a raise
I ain't seen the sun in three damn days
It's time to put this place in the rear view

Now I'm hellbent and southbound
On whatever highway takes me outta this town
No regrets, just the horsepower at my feet
I can't wait to see some mesquite trees
Can't wait to feel that salty breeze
When I get there, that'll be all that I need
It's too late to turn around
I'm hellbent and southbound

Damn, it feels good to get away
I was chokin' to death in that twelve story cage
The office ain't no place for this workin' man
I hit Hallettsville doin' 102
I'm gonna drive all night if I've got to
Corpus Christi might as well be the promised land, yeah

Now I'm hellbent and southbound
On whatever highway takes me outta this town
No regrets, just the horsepower at my feet
I can't wait to see some mesquite trees
Can't wait to feel that salty breeze
When I get there, that'll be all that I need
It's too late to turn around
I'm hellbent and southbound

Now I'm hellbent and southbound
On whatever highway takes me outta this town
No regrets, just the horsepower at my feet
Man I can't wait to see some mesquite trees
Can't wait to feel that salty breeze
When I get there, that'll be all that I need
It's too late to turn around
I'm hellbent and southbound
This highway's heaven sent
And I'm hellbent and I'm southbound
