Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
He was a southern star
A real bad mother
A lover of life
Like no other
Ooh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Rolling tears for a rolling man
Why you’re gone, I can’t understand
Oh, I said goodbye to one of my best friends
Oh, one of my best friends

[Chorus]
Cry, cry, cry for the southern star
Shine, shine, shine wherever you are
It’s so hard when you lose someone
Say goodbye one last time

[Bridge]
Mmm, mother and daughters
All your friends, too
Cryin’ so hard
Just for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Rolling tears for a rolling man
Why you’re gone, I can’t understand
Oh
I said goodbye to one of my best friends
One of my best friends

[Chorus]
Cry, cry, cry for the southern star
Shine, shine, shine wherever you are
It’s so hard when you lose someone
Say goodbye one last time

[Chorus]
Cry, cry, cry for the southern star
Shine, shine, shine wherever you are
It’s so hard when you lose someone
Say goodbye one last time
