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

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

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

(Verse 3)
And that (Am)boy he called his daddy to (F)tell him what he did
As the (C)masses scream the lyrics of a (G)messed up kid
And (Am)then he told that old man he was (F)never coming back
To (C)be cut down again in a (G)town like that (G) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) /

(Verse 4)
And he (Am)surely came to learn: people (F)come to watch you fall
He's (C)out to make a name and a (G)fool out of 'em all
And they'll (Am)never understand that (F)boy and his kind
'Cause (C)all they comprehend is a (G)f**kin' dollar sign - - -

(Chorus)
Don't stop (Am)going, going (F)south
'Cause they'll (C)let you play your music (G)real damn loud
Don't stop (Am)heading, heading (F)south
'Cause they will (C)understand the words that are (G)pouring from your mouth
Don't stop (Am)going, going (F)south
They will (C)understand the words that are (G)pouring from your mouth
Don't stop (Am)going, going (F)south
Cause they'll (C)let you scream your music (G)real damn loud - - - - -
