(Gary Rossington, Johnny Van-Zant, Robert Johnson, Michael Lunn)



There's a honky-tonk just south of Georgia 

A little salvation just a' waitin' for ya' 

I heard it said a long time ago 

If your lookin' for your soul 

Down a dirt road just across the border 



Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes 

If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea 

When your caught up in between 

Or just dyin' to be set free



(chorus) 

South of Heaven 

Always endin' up 

No matter how I try 

I'm just south of Heaven 

Don't wanna' think you can have it all 

'Cause all I need is just south of Heaven



There's a little girl they call the sweet thing 

Been some time I'd like to tell you one thing 

You have nothin' left to lose 

So by the time that you come to 

You'll be one more callin' her name



Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes 

If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea 

When your caught up in between 

Or just dyin' to be set free



(repeat chorus)



(repeat first verse) 





(repeat chorus) 





And when I die don't cry for me 

'Cause I'll be just south of Heaven 

South of Heaven 

All I want, all I need, all I want 

Is south of Heaven
