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

There's a honky-tonk just south of Georgia 
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 [bad word] 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
 [bad word]  
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 [bad word] to 
You'll be one more callin' her name

Well the harder [bad word] 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 [bad word] 

(repeat first verse) 

(repeat [bad word]  

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
