Yeah          hey           yeah         want to travel south this year
  I            wo-           -ont         won't prevent safe passage here

Why                    you act crazy
  Not                    an act maybe
  So                     close a lady
  Shif-                  -ty eyes shady

After this, you repeat the intro, then you do the next verse, identical to the first,
but the first part is done only once.

Hey, yeah tears that soak a careless heart

Then the second part of the verse is done to these lyrics

Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you'll see

Then the big powerful sounding chorus.  Play it this way. but listen to the song for the
rhythm.

[Chorus]
