Back Down South Lyrics

Come on out and dance
If you get the chance
We're gonna spit on the rivals
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
Fighting for survival

Underneath the stars
Where we parked the cars
Ain't showing signs of stopping
Pretty little girls
Naked to their curls
Ready to lay in a coffin

If you wanna go
I'm gonna go
I got a fire burning
Go on take my hand
When we see the band
Baby's gonna be a big one, oh yeah
Baby's gonna be a big one

When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
It's gonna be a stunner
I've got something here
If you give me one more beer
I'm gonna call the runner
I don't wanna say
What I have to say
Babe, I'm kicking off now

If you wanna go
I'm gonna go
I'm going back down south now, ah
I'm going back down south now, ah
I'm going back down south now

If you wanna go
I'm going back down south now
Come on take my hand
I'm going back down south now
When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
I'm going back down south now
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
I'm going back down south now, oh yeah

I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now, ah
I'm going back down south now

What is the Meaning of Back Down South?

This track encapsulates the raw, untamed spirit of the American South. It paints a vivid picture of youthful rebellion and carefree nights under the stars, with undertones of danger and recklessness. The lyrics suggest a longing for simpler times and a desire to return to one's roots, despite the potential for conflict and hardship. The repeated phrase "I'm going back down south now" serves as an anthem for those yearning for familiarity in an ever-changing world. The song ultimately portrays a nostalgia-infused journey home, where even the battles fought seem more appealing than staying away from one's true origins. #Nostalgia #SouthernRoots
