Southern Son lyrics

so long you’ve been waiting for this day

pull the reigns, break chains, it’s time to have your say

you’ve been running for so long

it’s time to stop and make a stand, steady and be strong

each day it grows a little darker

with each night misunderstood

ghost of the past still haunting you

it just goes on and on and on

chorus:

burn burn southern sky

you’ve got the fire of midnight in your eyes

burn burn southern son

soon they will know that you are the one

years gone, the future’s in the past

deeds are done, the time has come, now it’s moving fast

ride hard, the battery of hooves

striking distance, turn and face, time to take what’s yours

each day it grows a little harder

with each hour come to pass

sins of the father still following you

it just goes on and on and on

chorus

no one can ever hold you down

respect is all you ever need, listen to the crowd

fight on, the night has just begun

price to pay, don’t be afraid, it’s in your blood

each day it grows a little darker

with each night misunderstood

ghost of the past still haunting you

it just goes on and on and on

chorus
