[Intro]
| Am | F | C | G |
| Am | F | C |
[Verse 1]
G Am F
He 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
And they cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed
[Verse 2]
Am F C G Am
But boys we've got a riser,
F
a riser in our midst
C G
And he will get the last laugh if it's the last thing he
did
Am F
And he used to roll around in that red dirt mud
C G
But now he's skipping 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 headin', headin' south
C G
'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from
your mouth
[Verse 3]
Am F C G Am
And that boy,
F
he called his daddy to tell him what he did
C G
As the masses screamed the lyrics of a messed up kid
Am F
And then he told that old man he was never coming back
C G
To be cut down again in a town like that
[Bridge]
Am F
Then he surely came to learn people come to watch you fall
C G
But 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
All they comprehend is a fucking dollar sign
[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 headin', headin' 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
