Am F C G x2
Verse 1
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
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed
Interlude
Verse 2
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 going, going south
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
Don't stop heading, heading south
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
Interlude
Verse 3
And that boy he called his daddy to tell him what he did
As the masses scream 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
Verse 4
And he surely came to learn: people come to watch you fall
He's out to make a name and a fool out of 'em all
And they'll never understand that boy and his kind
'Cause all they comprehend is a fuckin' dollar sign
Chorus
Don't stop going, going south
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
Don't stop heading, heading south
'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
Don't stop going, going south
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
Don't stop going, going south
Cause they'll let you scream your music real damn loud
