[intro]
C G Am F

[verse 1]
Am                          F                          C                G
Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
Am                          F                          C                          G
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
Am              F                           C                          G
No one ever understood a single word he said
Am                          F                          C                          G
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn’t well and fed

[Verse 2]
Am              F                          C                          G
Boys, we’ve got a riser, a riser in our midst
Am                          F              C                                      G
And he will get the last laugh if it’s the last thing he did
Am                          F                          C                          G
And he used to to roll around in that red dirt mud
Am                          F                          C                          G
But now he’s skipping town and that dreamer’s out for blood
Am F C G

[Chorus]
Am                          F
Don’t stop going, going south
C                                      G
‘Cause they’ll let you play your music real damn loud
Am                                      F
Don’t stop heading, heading south
C                                                              G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth

[Verse 2]
Am                          F              C                          G
And that dreamer called his daddy to tell him what he did
Am                     F                     C                                         G
As the masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid
Am                     F                     C                     G
And then he told his daddy he was never coming back
Am                     F                     C                     G
To be cut down again in a town like that
Am                                         F                     C                     G
And he surely came to learn: people come to watch you fall
Am                     F                     C                                         G
That dreamers ‘r out to make a name and fool out of ’em all
Am                                         F                     C                     G
And they’ll never understand that boy and his kind
Am                     F                     C                     G
‘Cause all they comprehend is a worthless dollar sign

[Chorus]
Am                                         F
Don’t stop going, going south
C                                                                                 G
‘Cause they’ll let you play your music real damn loud
Am                                                             F
Don’t stop heading, heading south
C                                                                                 G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
Am                                                             F
Don’t stop going, going south
C                                                             G
‘Cause they’ll let you play your music real damn loud
Am                                                             F
Don’t stop heading, heading south
C                                                             G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
