The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Southern Cross lyrics

(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!
