Zach Bryan - Heading South (Version 2)

[Intro]
C G Am F
C G Am F

[Verse 1]
Am F
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
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn’t well and fed

[Bridge]
Am F C G

[Verse 2]
Am F
Boys, we’ve got a riser, a riser in our midsts
C G
And he will get the last laugh if it’s the last thing he did
Am F
And he used to to roll around in that red dirt mud
C G G
But now he’s skippin’ town and that riser’s out for blood

[Chorus]
Am F
Don’t stop goin’, goin’ south
C G
‘Cause they’ll let you play your music real damn loud
Am F
Don’t stop heading, heading south
C G G
‘Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth

[Bridge]
Am F C G

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

[Verse 4]
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
‘Cause all they comprehend is a fucking dollar sign

[Chorus]
Am F
So don’t stop goin’, goin’ south
C G
‘Cause they’ll let you play your music real damn loud
Am F
Don’t stop heading, heading south
C G
‘Cause they will understand the words that are pouring from your mouth

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