Intro:
G           F          C              G
Oh southern star how I wish you would shine
    Dm          C          G
And show me the way to get home

                     D7          C          G
Well I'm blue-collar branded and stuck in a mill
     Dm        C               G
Hard work is a way of life for me
                      F             C        G
Well I'm too young to live like I'm over the hill
    Dm         C           G
And too old to be wild and free

   D7
My heart is onward bound
    G
I'm rolling with the feeling and I can't slow down
D7                     G
I need a guiding light shining down to lead me through the night
            F          C              G
Oh southern star how I wish you would shine
    Dm          C          G
And show me the way to get home

               F                C                G
Oh hey my D.J. friend would you play me one more song
    Dm               C            G
And let my mind just go and drift away
                  F           C              G
Now we all have a dream and a place where we belong
    Dm           C        G
Somewhere we can go and escape

Repeat #2

            F          C              G
Oh southern star how I wish you would shine
    Dm          C          G
And show me the way to get home
