Heading South Lyrics
[00:19.15] He was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
[00:23.77] In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
[00:28.45] No one ever understood a single word, he said
[00:33.19] And they cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed
[00:43.29] But boys we've got a riser, a riser in our midst
[00:47.50] And he will get the last laugh if it's the last thing he did
[00:52.43] And he used to roll around in that red dirt mud
[00:57.16] But now he's skipping town and that dreamer's out for blood
[01:06.08] So don't stop goin', goin' south
[01:10.87] 'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
[01:15.88] Don't stop headin', headin' south
[01:20.78] 'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[01:39.49] And that boy, he called his daddy to tell him what he did
[01:43.98] As the masses screamed the lyrics of a messed up kid
[01:49.21] And then he told that old man he was never coming back
[01:53.84] To be cut down again in a town like that
[02:02.13] And then he surely came to learn people come to watch you fall
[02:07.48] But he's out to make a name and a fool out of 'em all
[02:12.73] They'll never understand that boy and his kind
[02:17.84] 'Cause all they comprehend is a fucking dollar sign
[02:26.22] So don't stop goin', goin' south
[02:31.02] 'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
[02:35.92] Don't stop headin', headin' south
[02:40.58] 'Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
[03:05.11] Don't stop goin', goin' south
[03:10.47] 'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
[03:16.07] Don't stop headin', headin' south
[03:20.73] They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
