Tell mom I'm going to California
Tell her I'm headed out where I'm supposed to be
Didn't pack my bags, I'm hitchhiking
Got my guitar, I'm going far, I got a dream

Always knew where I'm headed
I've got to run before I die
Thought it through, I'm gonna make it
Just got to jump in it, the only limit is the sky

Cause I'm southbound
I can't slow down
I can't turn around
Cause I'm southbound

I'm going to be Lynard Skynard
Every girl around the world will know my name
Let them know I'm heading down the highway
Once I leave my life will never be the same
