[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][G]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
He 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
And they [C]cast him to the wolves
when he [G]wasn't well and fed

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 2]
But [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]ri ser's out for blood

[Chorus 1]
Don't stop [Am]goin', goin' [F]south
'Cause they'll [C]let you play your music
[G]real damn loud
Don't stop [Am]headin', headin' [F]south
'Cause they will [C]un derstand the words
that are [G]pouring from your mouth

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 3]
And that [Am]boy, he called his daddy
to [F]tell him what he did
As the [C]masses screamed 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

[Bridge 1]
And he [Am]surely came to learn
people [F]come to watch you fall
But he's [C]out to make a name
and a [G]fool out of 'em all
They'll [Am]never understand
that [F]boy and his kind
[C]All they comprehend
is a [G]fucking dollar sign

[Chorus 2]
So don't stop [Am]goin', goin' [F]south
'Cause they'll [C]let you play your music
[G]real damn loud
Don't stop [Am]headin', headin' [F]south
'Cause they will [C]un derstand the words
that are [G]pouring from your mouth

[Outro 1]
Don't stop [Am]goin', goin' [F]south
They will [C]un derstand the words
that are [G]pouring from your mouth
Don't stop [Am]goin', goin' [F]south
'Cause they'll [C]let you scream your music
[G]real damn loud
