[Verse 1]

She lights a cigarette, throws the keys on the dash

City hums like a warning, she's done with the past

Leather boots on the gas, wind whipping her hair

Every red light's a dare, every street's a prayer

[Pre-Chorus]

Heartbeats echo with the tires on the road

No rules, no chains, nothing left to hold

[Chorus]

She's going southbound

Leaving the flames of this town

Southbound

Spinning the night upside down

Crashing the walls that kept her down

Racing the wind, she's going

Southbound

[Verse 2]

Radio blares the secrets she won't confess

Every mile she takes burns off the mess

Backseat memories vanish in smoke

She tastes freedom in every word she spoke

[Pre-Chorus]

Heartbeats echo with the tires on the road

No rules, no chains, nothing left to hold

[Chorus]

She's going southbound

Leaving the flames of this town

Southbound

Spinning the night upside down

Crashing the walls that kept her down

Racing the wind, she's going

Southbound

[Bridge]

Moon drips like silver over her scars

Every star is a story, every night is ours

Glass in her hand, fire in her chest

She runs from the noise, she leaves the rest

Silence hits, heartbeat slows, tires hum alone

Wind whispers her name, she's found her throne

One breath, one step, the world fades away

All that's left is the night and the chase

[Chorus]

She's going southbound

Leaving the flames of this town

Southbound

Spinning the night upside down

Crashing the walls that kept her down

Racing the wind, she's going

Southbound

[Chorus Reprise]

She's going southbound

Burning the past on the ground

Southbound

Flipping the night all around

Breaking the chains that held her down

Racing the stars, she's going

Southbound

[Outro]

Oh, she's going southbound
