In The South
Southern Nights: A Back Road Anthem
Lyrics
We've got a little hillbilly in our bloodstream
We have a strong connection to rural, Southern culture in our heritage.
You can tell by the cold beer that we drink
The type of beer we drink reflects our hillbilly or Southern roots.
We like to have us a damn good time
We enjoy having a great time.
With some buddies wrapped round a riverbank bonfire
We like socializing with friends around a bonfire by the river.
Don't come at us tryna start some shit
We don't welcome confrontation; we prefer a laid-back atmosphere.
We're just tryna kick it back here in the sticks
We just want to relax in our rural setting.
Once we've got a little buzz from out cold bud light
Having a buzz from cold beer signals the beginning of a fun night.
Know it's gon be a hell of a night
Anticipation of an exciting night ahead.
Little bit of back road riding
We enjoy driving on back roads.
Power line four wheel driving
We engage in adventurous four-wheel driving along power lines.
Getting right in that Carolina moonlight
Embracing the beauty of the Carolina moonlight.
Raising hell like we'll never die
We live life boldly, as if we'll never face consequences.
Jump the barbed wire let's party
We're ready to have a wild time, breaking barriers.
It's midnight and we're just starting
Even at midnight, our party is just beginning.
To kick up the dust crank them speakers real loud
We create excitement by raising dust and playing loud music.
If you didn't know you do now
A declaration that this is the Southern way of life.
That's how we roll in the south
Summarizing the carefree and adventurous lifestyle in the South.
We like bumpin that skynard to ten
We enjoy listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd at a high volume.
Raise em to the moon for our fallen friends
We pay tribute to those we've lost by toasting to the moon.
Forget about the hell tomorrow might bring
Choosing to live in the moment and ignore future troubles.
Im gon take you where you need to be
The singer promises to take the listener to a special place.
Little bit of back road riding
Reiteration of the enjoyment of back road driving.
Power line four wheel driving
Continuing the theme of adventurous four-wheel driving.
Getting right in that Carolina moonlight
Repeated reference to the enchanting Carolina moonlight.
Raising hell like we'll never die
Living life with intensity and fearlessness.
Jump the barbed wire let's party
Encouraging breaking barriers and enjoying life.
It's midnight and we're just starting
Highlighting the late-night initiation of festivities.
To kick up the dust crank them speakers real loud
Creating a lively atmosphere with dust and loud music.
If you didn't know you do now
Reiterating the distinctive Southern lifestyle.
That's how we roll in the south
Summarizing the carefree and adventurous lifestyle in the South.
Roll in the south
Reiteration of the distinctive Southern lifestyle.
Yeah we stand for the flag and we kneel to pray
Expressing patriotism and religious values of the South.
Say sir and ma'am and praise the lord on Sundays
Emphasizing politeness and religious observance on Sundays.
Work our ass right off of the deep end
We work hard but take a break to enjoy the weekend.
Circle back to the weekend
Linking back to the idea of weekend relaxation.
Little bit of back road riding
Reiteration of the enjoyment of back road driving.
Power line four wheel driving
Continuing the theme of adventurous four-wheel driving.
Getting right in that Carolina moonlight
Repeated reference to the enchanting Carolina moonlight.
Raising hell like we'll never die
Living life with intensity and fearlessness.
Jump the barbed wire let's party
Encouraging breaking barriers and enjoying life.
It's midnight and we're just starting
Highlighting the late-night initiation of festivities.
To kick up the dust crank them speakers real loud
Creating a lively atmosphere with dust and loud music.
If you didn't know you do now
Reiterating the distinctive Southern lifestyle.
That's how we roll in the south
Summarizing the carefree and adventurous lifestyle in the South.
