Bb                Ab              Eb                   Bb
Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine

       Fm7              Eb                  Bb
And show me the way to get home


Bb                           Ab             Eb                Bb
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

And show me the way to get home

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

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

....I need a guiding light.....shining down to lead me throught the night
