I bet you know how to ride
With your wheels on the side
Why don’t you come on inside?
If you know how to ride
Why don’t you uncouple your cars
In my freight train yards?
Why don’t you come on inside?
If you know how to ride
Oh south bound woman
Whoa, southbound woman
Ah, southbound woman
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woman
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woman
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woman
Oh south bound woman
