Southern Cross Lyrics - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

(INTRO) 

there's a lotta folks down at the island 

that follow that astrology 

some got a chart of the heavens 

and some got a fancy degree 

but me I got a pick-up 

and I drive it like a Fourth of July 

and that's where I seen the vision 

when it fell right out of the sky 

it said 

follow, follow the southern cross 

leave your luck in Mexico 

there ain't no way to get lost 

cause there ain't no place to go 

so I bought me a ticket to Texas 

and I hopped on a plane to Peru 

I met a little lady from Chile 

and she fed me a tropical root 

now I'm down in Tierra del Fuego 

and nothin' around me is right 

I think I got a case of lumbago 

but it's better than the northern lights 

I gotta 

follow, follow the southern cross 

leave your luck in Mexico 

there ain't no way to get lost 

cause there ain't no place to go 

(HORN SOLO) 

so I paddled out to Easter Island 

about as fast as I could go 

I saw and albatross on the horizon 

and the stone heads all in a row 

I found the secret of navigation 

and the mystery of the Milky Way 

now I'm livin' in the constellations 

tell me what more I can say 

you gotta 

follow, follow the southern cross 

and leave your luck in Mexico 

there ain't no way to get lost 

cause there ain't no place to go 

whoa! 

(HORN STUFF)
