heading south

[Intro]
  Am        F           C          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
( Am F C G )
Am F
But boys we’ve got a riser, 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

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

[Próxima Parte]
( Am F C G )
Am F
And that boy called his daddy to tell him what he did
C G
That the masses screamed the lyrics of a messed up kid
Am F
And then he told his old man he was never coming back
C G
To be cut down again in a town like that
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
Cuz’ all they comprehend is a fuckin' dollar sign
