Zach Bryan - Heading South

Capo 4

[intro]
C G Am F

[verse 1]
Am F C G
Was a boy who was a dreamer and he flew so high and proud
Am F C G
In a world full of people out to cut his young ass down
Am F C G
No one ever understood a single word he said
Am F C G
They cast him to the wolves when he wasn’t well and fed

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

Am F C G

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

[Verse 2]
Am F C G
And that dreamer called his daddy to tell him what he did
Am F C G
As the masses scream the lyrics of a messed up kid
Am F C G
And then he told his daddy he was never coming back
Am F C G
To be cut down again in a town like that
Am F C G
And he surely came to learn: people come to watch you fall
Am F C G
That dreamers ‘r out to make a name and fool out of ‘em all
Am F C G
And they’ll never understand that boy and his kind
Am F C G
‘Cause all they comprehend is a worthless dollar sign

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