[Intro]
C G Am F
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
Am F
Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
C G
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
Am F
No one ever understood a single word he said
C G
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed
[Bridge]
Am F C G
[Verse 2]
Am F
Boys, we've got a riser, a riser in our midsts
C G
And he will get the last laugh if it's the last thing he did
Am F
And he used to to roll around in that red dirt mud
C G G
But now he's skippin' town and that riser's out for blood
[Chorus]
Am F
Don't stop goin', goin' south
C G
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
Am F
Don't stop heading, heading south
C G G
'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[Bridge]
Am F C G
[Verse 3]
Am F
And that boy called his daddy, to tell him what he did
C G
As the masses scream the lyrics of the messed up kid
Am F
And then he told that old man he was never coming back
C G G
To be cut down again in a town like that
[Verse 4]
Am F
And he surely came to learn: people come to watch you fall
C G
He's out to make a name and a fool out of 'em all
Am F
And they'll never understand that boy and his kind
C G
'Cause all they comprehend is a fucking dollar sign
[Chorus]
Am F
So don't stop goin', goin' south
C G
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
Am F
Don't stop heading, heading south
C G
'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[Outro]
Am F
Don't stop goin', goin' south
C G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
Am F
Don't stop goin', goin' south
C G
'Cause they'll let you scream your music real damn loud
[Verse 1]
He was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
No one ever understood a single word he said
And they cast him to the wolves when he wasn’t well and fed
[Verse 2]
But boys we’ve got a riser, a riser in our midst
And he will get the last laugh if it’s the last thing he did
And he used to roll around in that red dirt mud
But now he’s skipping town and that riser’s out for blood
[Chorus]
Don’t stop goin’, goin’ south
Cuz’ they’ll let you play your music real damn loud
Don’t stop headin’, headin’ south
Cuz' they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[Verse 3]
And that boy, he called his daddy to tell him what he did
As the masses screamed the lyrics of a messed up kid
And then he told that old man he was never coming back
To be cut down again in a town like that
[Bridge]
And then he surely came to learn people come to watch you fall
But he's out to make a name and a fool out of ‘em all
And they’ll never understand that boy and his kind
Cuz’ all they comprehend is a fucking dollar sign
[Chorus]
So don't stop goin', goin' south
Cuz’ they’ll let you play your music real damn loud
Don’t stop headin’, headin’ south
Cuz' they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[Outro]
Don’t stop goin’, goin’ south
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
Don't stop goin', goin' south
Cuz' they'll let you scream your music real damn loud
