verse 1:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
No one ever understood a single word he said
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn't well and fed
Verse 2:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Boys, we've got a riser, a riser in our midst
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
And he will get the last laugh if it's the last thing he did
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
And he used to to roll around in that red dirt mud
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
But now he's skipping town and that dreamer's out for blood
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Chorus:
A minorAm FF
Don't stop going, going south
C majorC G+G
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
A minorAm FF
Don't stop heading, heading south
C majorC G+G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
Verse 2:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
And that dreamer called his daddy to tell him what he did
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
As the masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
And then he told his daddy he was never coming back
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
To be cut down again in a town like that
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
And he surely came to learn: people come to watch you fall
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
That dreamers 'r out to make a name and fool out of 'em all
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
And they'll never understand that boy and his kind
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
'Cause all they comprehend is a worthless dollar sign
Chorus:
A minorAm FF
Don't stop going, going south
C majorC G+G
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
A minorAm FF
Don't stop heading, heading south
C majorC G+G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
A minorAm FF
Don't stop going, going south
C majorC G+G
'Cause they'll let you play your music real damn loud
A minorAm FF
Don't stop heading, heading south
C majorC G+G
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
