whole song: Am C G Dm
|Chorus|
Am CAnd down in the south, baby, we don't cry.
G DmStackin' dreams on dimes, fallin' behind.
Am CSun up to sundown, we break our backs.
G DmAin't no quitin', it's blood and mind.
Am COne hand on the Bible, one on the plow.
G DmAin't got much, but I made it this far somehow.
Am C G DmDown, down, down in the south.
AmDown in the south.
|Verse 1|
Am CTrue grit, got blood on my kicks.
G DmIf you got a weak stomach, you finished.
Am CTrack a green mile on a blood trail, really.
G DmSouthern in the kitchen, fried 'mater and a biscuit.
Am CListen, this is what I be about the dirty, dirty south.
G DmGet around quick to knock a teeth out your pretty mouth.
Am C'Bout, 'bout the deep woods, pretty good, pretty good.
G DmSwimmin' where I fish, sleepin', hunt the same woods.
Do it 'til I can't Do it 'cause they said I can't Do it.
Uh.
I'm about to show you how us country boys Do it.
Hey, workin' hard every mornin'.
Best before the job.
Hey, we ain't got no time to waste.
Bless our family, this I pray.
Up before the sun raise, afterwards, it's sinkin' in.
See the light to lead the way that moonshine drinkin' in.
Conscious of the consequence, still 'bout to handle it.
Southern hospitality, still quick to slap a bitch.
|Chorus|
And down in the south, baby, we don't cry.
Stackin' dreams on dimes, fallin' behind.
Sun up to sundown, we break our backs.
Ain't no quitin', it's blood and mind.
One hand on the Bible, one on the plow.
Ain't got much, but I made it this far somehow.
Down, down, down in the south.
Down in the south.
|Verse 2|
Bustin' down on a 15 pack.
My kinfolk in the house, coon dog got a sack.
Huntin' dogs on the scent, we just got on they track.
That moon shine up the night.
Old blue tick bring 'em out.
Oh, holla, holla at the moon, true grit in the house.
Boss hog gettin' slaughtered, cook a pig in the ground.
It's blood and sweat in my eyes, never mind you the tears.
And if you lookin' for trouble, then look no further, it's here.
Put some bread on a scuffle, ol' buddy holdin' my beer.
The end is near, might as well end it here.
This a dead end, fool.
For your foul intention, bendin' the curve round.
Down in the south, learn some tough love, lost my sentiment.
It's meant to hurt.
Been to this broken world.
Lender of the wounds, I'd like to thank for the scars.
The hardest part is gettin' goin', shit, we all know that.
Once I fired up, the hardest part's holdin' me back.
Yeah.
|Chorus|
And down in the south, baby, we don't cry.
Stackin' dreams on dimes, fallin' behind.
Sun up to sundown, we break our backs.
Ain't no quitin', it's blood and mind.
One hand on the Bible, one on the plow.
Ain't got much, but I made it this far somehow.
Down, down, down in the south.
Down in the south.
|Outro|
Ooh.
Oh, down in the south.
Ooh.
