Heading South

[Intro] Am  F  C  G
        Am  F  C  G

         Am                        
He was a boy who was a dreamer and 
    F
he flew so high and proud
      C                           
In a world full of people out to cut
G
 his young ass down
    Am                     F
No one ever understood a single word
 he said
         C                         
And they cast him to the wolves 
     G
when he wasn’t well and fed

( Am  F  C  G )

    Am                         F
But boys we’ve got a riser, a riser 
in our midst
    C                             
And he will get the last laugh if 
G
it’s the last thing he did
        Am                         
And he used to roll around in that 
F
red dirt mud
    C                              
But now he’s skipping town and that
 G
 riser’s out for blood

           Am            F
Don’t stop goin’, goin’ south
              C                    
Cuz’ they’ll let you play your 
  G
music real damn loud
           Am                F
Don’t stop headin’, headin’ south
          C                        
They will understand the words that
      G
 are pouring from your mouth

( Am  F  C  G )

         Am                     
And that boy called his daddy to 
    F
tell him what he did
          C                        
That the masses screamed the lyrics
        G
 of a messed up kid
     Am                            
And then he told his old man he was
   F
 never coming back
      C                     G
To be cut down again in a town like 
that

       Am                          
And he surely came to learn people 
  F
come to watch you fall
      C                         G
He's out to make a name and a fool 
out of 'em all
            Am                   
And they’ll never understand that 
  F
boy and his kind
      C                      
Cuz’ all they comprehend is a 
    G
fuckin' dollar sign

[Estribillo]

           Am            F
Don’t stop goin’, goin’ south
              C                    
Cuz’ they’ll let you play your 
  G
music real damn loud
           Am                F
Don’t stop headin’, headin’ south
          C                        
They will understand the words that
      G
 are pouring from your mouth
