South - Blackie and the Rodeo Kings
G D C G D C
Baby, point this engine south, I wanna ride til we get our fill
G D C G
We spent our youth trying to make a life
D C G D C G
But from here I know we never will, From here I know we never will
G D C G D C
Some deeds you can not live down, I see my kin avert their eyes
G D C G
Well I can't stand to live this way
D C
And I can't bear to see you cry....so
G D C G D C
Baby, point this engine south, I wanna ride til we get our fill
G D C G
We spent our youth trying to make a life
D C G D C G
But from here I know we never will, From here I know we never will
D C G D C
There's blood on honey suckle vines, the grass smells sweet in the morning dew
G D C G
Theres a new light shining in these old minds
D C G
And an old crutch lying in a new church pew
G D C G D C
Baby, point this engine south, I wanna ride til we get our fill
G D C G
We spent our youth trying to make a life
D C G D C G
But from here I know we never will, From here I know we never will
BRIDGE
C Bm C G
Baby lets throw it all away, gamble everything we've known
C G D
Gas er up and burn her down, and when we stop we're calling it home
G D C G D C
If we fail like I know we might, and if I fall with axe in hand
G D C G D C G
Though I loved you with all I had, bury my bones in this southern land
