      Am  F  C  G  

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

( Am  F  C  G ) 

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

 
          Am            F 
Don't stop goin', goin' south 
              C                        G 
Cuz' they'll let you play your music real d-mn loud 
           Am               F 
Don't stop headin', headin' south 
          C                              G 
They will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth 


( Am  F  C  G ) 

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

       Am                           F  
And he surely came to learn people come to watch you fall 
      C                        G  
He's out to make a name and a fool out of 'em all 
            Am                    F 
And they'll never understand that boy and his kind 
      C                        G 
Cuz' all they comprehend is a fuckin' dollar sign 

           Am            F 
Don't stop goin', goin' south 
             C                        G 
Cuz' they'll let you play your music real d-mn loud 
           Am                F 
Don't stop headin', headin' south 
             C                              G 
Cuz' they'll understand the words that are pouring from your mouth
