Carrie Underwood's upbeat anthem paints a vivid picture of laid-back summertime fun in the southern United States. The song celebrates the simple pleasures of small-town life, like pontoon boat parties, sun-soaked riverbanks, and two-for-one margaritas at the marina. It's all about letting loose, unwinding, and soaking up the 'Tennessee honey kind of buzz.' The recurring theme is 'getting southbound,' which can be seen as a metaphor for embracing a carefree lifestyle and enjoying the moment. Whether it's dancing on the dock or swinging from a rope swing, Underwood invites everyone to join in on this southern-style escapade.
Southbound
Lyrics
We got a pontoon boat with a Yamaha
People dressed like they're in Panama
Small town spring break every weekend around this place
And there's a bunch of boys trying to catch the eyes
Of all the pretty girls that are walking by
And those red neck margaritas are two for one at that old marina, yeah
Tan lines and gas station cheap sunglasses
They're coming here from all around
To get a little southbound, un-wound
Tennessee honey kind of buzz
Them south sounds up loud
Summer dripping off of us
From the river bank to the Party Cove
'Long as it floats we'll rock the boat
And it's all looking up when we get down, yeah
And get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound
Bo got a ticket in a no-wake zone
But Katie's the one that should take it slow
'Cause she's dancing on the dock and it's only two o'clock
Yeah, the fish ain't biting 'cause the party's on
The old men are thinking 'bout going home
But those red neck margaritas are two for one at that old marina, yeah
They're gonna get a little southbound, un-wound
Tennessee honey kind of buzz
Them south sounds up loud
Summer dripping off of us
From the river bank to the Party Cove
'Long as it floats we'll rock the boat
And it's all looking up when we get down, yeah
And get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound, oh yeah
Woo
Yeah, we got the rope swing swinging like a chandelier
Little bit of heaven on the water right here
Don't need much just a couple of beers and you and me
Gotta love this time of year
And gettin' southbound, southbound
So let's get a little southbound, un-wound
Tennessee honey kind of buzz
Them south sounds up loud
Summer dripping off of us
From the river bank to the Party Cove
'Long as it floats we'll rock the boat
And it's all looking up when we get down
And get a little southbound, southbound
We get a little southbound, southbound
Let's get a little southbound, southbound
We get a little southbound, southbound, oh yeah
