Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine
Fm7 Eb Bb
And show me the way to get home

Well I'm blue-collar branded, and stuck in a mill
Fm7 Eb Bb
Hard work is a way of life for me
Bb Ab Eb Bb
Well I'm too young to live like I'm over the hills
Fm7 Eb Bb
And too old to be wild and free
F Bb
My heart is onward bound......I'm rolling with the feeling and i can't slow
down
F Bb
....I need a guiding light......shining down to lead me through the night
Bb Ab Eb Bb
Oh southern star, how I wish you would shine
Fm7 Eb Bb
And show me the way to get home
INSTRUMENTAL: Bb Ab Eb Bb Fm7 Eb Bb (repeat)
Bb Ab Eb Bb
Oh, hey my D.J. friend, would you play me one more song
Fm7 Eb Bb
And let my mind just go and drift away
Bb Ab Eb Bb
Now we all have a dream....and a place where we belong
Fm7 Eb Bb
Somewhere we can go and escape
F Bb
My heart is onward bound....I'm rolling with the feeling and i can't slow down
F Bb
....I need a guiding light.....shining down to lead me throught the night
Bb Ab Eb Bb
Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine
Fm7 Eb Bb
And show me the way to get home
REPEAT INSTRUMENTAL
Bb Ab Eb Bb
Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine
Fm7 Eb Bb
And show me the way to get home
There ya go!
