We took the road down to the water
Watched the big ships passing by
I took a deep breath, I bit my lip
So you wouldn't see me cry
It won't be long till I'm back, don't you worry
I said, and it wasn't true
Got no reason why I'd wanna leave you
Why do we do the things we do
South of love
South of love
Maybe we will meet again
South of love
South of love
Maybe we will meet again
South of love
And I held her by the fire
Felt her shakin' through the sheets
I don't trust no girl with my love
They just take it to the streets
Now you can say all you want, say all you want
That you're having a change of heart
If you're looking for a sad-eyed hero
Baby, I don't fit the part, no oh
Ain't no way to say it better
My home is right there where I hang
Should I have to say I'm sorry
For a simple thing like that
