Intro (x2): Dbm  A  E  B

Verse 1:
      Dbm                           A
Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
     E                           B
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
       Dbm                A
No one ever understood a single word he said
     E                              B
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed

Interlude: Dbm  A  E  B

Verse 2:
Dbm                         A
Boys, we've got a riser, a riser in our midst
    E                                      B
And he will get the last laugh if it's the last thing he did
       Dbm                          A
And he used to roll around in that red dirt mud
    E                               B
But now he's skipping town and that riser's out for blood

Chorus:
           Dbm           A
Don't stop going, going south
               E                       B
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
           Dbm               A
Don't stop heading, heading south
          E                             B
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth

Interlude: Dbm  A  E  B

Verse 3:
         Dbm                          A
And that boy he called his daddy to tell him what he did
       E                             B
As the masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid
    Dbm                               A
And then he told that old man he was never coming back
      E                   B
To be cut down again in a town like that

Verse 4:
       Dbm                           A
And he surely came to learn: people come to watch you fall
     E                        B
He's out to make a name and a fool out of 'em all
            Dbm                    A
And they'll never understand that boy and his kind
       E                        B
'Cause all they comprehend is a xxxxxx' dollar sign

Chorus:
           Dbm           A
Don't stop going, going south
               E                       B
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
           Dbm               A
Don't stop heading, heading south
                 E                             B
'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth


           Dbm           A
Don't stop going, going south
          E                             B
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
           Dbm           A
Don't stop going, going south
              E                         B
Cause they'll let you scream your music real damn loud
