The South's Gonna Do It Again
Southern Harmony: Rebels and Rockers Unite in a Musical Celebration
Lyrics
Well, the train to Grinder's Switch is runnin' right on time
The train heading to Grinder's Switch is operating punctually.
And them Tucker Boys are cookin' down in Caroline
The Tucker Boys are performing exceptionally well in Caroline.
People down in Florida can't be still
People in Florida are unable to stay still due to excitement.
When ol' Lynyrd Skynrd's pickin' down in Jacksonville
There's great enthusiasm when the band Lynyrd Skynyrd plays in Jacksonville.
People down in Georgia come from near and far
Individuals from various places in Georgia come to witness Richard Betts play the red guitar.
To hear Richard Betts pickin' on that red guitar
A call for everyone to gather around and enjoy the music.
So gather 'round, gather 'round chillin'
Encouragement to get involved and enjoy the moment.
Get down, well just get down chillin'
An invitation to be loud and proud of Southern heritage.
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Emphasizing pride in being a rebel or non-conformist in the Southern context.
Well you can be proud, hear now
A statement affirming the repeated success and resilience of the South.
Be proud you're a rebel
Elvin Bishop, though not conventionally attractive, is praised for musical talent.
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again
Recognition of ZZ Top's presence and impact in the music scene.
Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay
Reference to someone, possibly Brother Willie, being drenched or sweating profusely.
He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play
Praise for musicians Barefoot Jerry and C.D.B. by the people in Tennessee.
And there's ZZ Top and you can't forget
A repetition of the call for everyone to gather around and enjoy the music.
That old brother Willie's gettin' soakin' wet
Encouragement to engage fully and enjoy the moment.
And all the good people down in Tennessee
An invitation to be loud and proud of Southern heritage, emphasizing rebellion.
Are diggin' barefoot Jerry and C.D.B
Reaffirmation of pride in Southern heritage and the likelihood of repeated success.
So gather 'round, gather 'round chillin'
The South's anticipated continuous success and resilience.
Get down, well just get down chillin'
A description of Elvin Bishop's appearance and musical skill.
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Praise for ZZ Top's significance and memorable presence.
Well you can be proud, hear now
Reference to someone, possibly Brother Willie, experiencing physical exertion or sweating.
Be proud you're a rebel
Appreciation for Barefoot Jerry and C.D.B. by the people in Tennessee.
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again
An invitation to celebrate and take pride in Southern heritage, highlighting rebellion and repeated success.
