HEADING SOUTH LYRICS: WRITTEN BY MARK HOPKINS

VERSE 1.

I'M GONNA JUMP IN MY CAR AND PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR

GONNA KEEP ON GOING TIL I CAN'T DRIVE NO MORE

GONNA HEAD FOR THE SUNSET THAT SEEMS MILES AWAY

GOT A TANK FULL OF GAS IN THIS CHEVROLET

IT'S ALL PEDAL TO THE METAL TIL I RUN OUT OF ROAD

WILL I EVER HEAD HOME, WHO THE HELL  KNOWS

SOFT TOP, DROPPED DOWN, HAZY BREEZE IN MY HAIR

GONNA KEEP ON HEADING SOUTH COS I KNOW YOU'LL BE THERE

PRE CHORUS.

(YEAAAAH, YEAH)

I'VE GOTTA GO, I'VE GOTTA GO

I'VE GOTTA GO, NOBODY HAS TO KNOW

CHORUS.

TELL ME HOW YOU WANT ME TO BE (YEAH)

TELL ME HOW YOU WANNA TO BE SEEN

(THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO.... WHOA YEAH)

THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO

TELL ME HOW YOU WANT ME TO BE (YEAH)

TELL ME HOW YOU WANNA TO BE SEEN (YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.... OH YEAH)

I'M HEADING SOUTH FOR YOU

VERSE 2.

I'M GONNA RIDE SO FAST LIKE A COWBOY WITH HEAT 

HANDS GRIPPING THE WHEEL, ASS GRIPPING THE SEAT

GONNA BURN THIS HIGHWAY LIKE A FUSE THAT'S BEEN LIT

GONNA KEEP ON HEADING SOUTH,  I AIN'T NEVER GONNA QUIT

PRE CHORUS.

(YEAAAAH, YEAH)

I'VE GOTTA GO, I'VE GOTTA GO

I'VE GOTTA GO, NOBODY HAS TO KNOW

CHORUS.

TELL ME HOW YOU WANT ME TO BE (YEAH)

TELL ME HOW YOU WANNA TO BE SEEN

(THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO.... WHOA YEAH)

THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO

TELL ME HOW YOU WANT ME TO BE (YEAH)

TELL ME HOW YOU WANNA TO BE SEEN (YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.... OH YEAH)

I'M HEADING SOUTH FOR YOU

MID SECTION.

GOT THE TOP DROPPED DOWN

AIN'T NO TURNING AROUND

IN THE 4X4

I'VE GOT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR

IN THE OPEN AIR

JUST A MAN WITHOUT A CARE

WITH A PROMISE THAT'S TRUE

I'M HEADING SOUTH FOR YOU........ GUITARS

Original song concept was written by Adam Jones (Nutkraker), many years ago but was never finished. 

Adam sent the idea in its raw form to multi instrumentalist and music producer Mark Hopkins who has revamped, re-recorded the original guitar riffs and then added everything else and mastered. 

Mark wrote new lyrics and went on to sing all the vocal parts and harmonies. 

Song contains the original bassline played by Adam Jones but everything else came from the imagination of Mr Hopkins to tell the story. 

To sound like a conversation over a bad phone line in the middle of nowhere, telling the one you want to be with that you're on your way to them... No matter what it takes...... 

This is a Country Rock vocal track with a Hip Hop twist. 

Fact:   Mark even sampled his car for the opening sequence
