(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



[Chorus]



[Repeat first verse]



[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
