[D] [Am] [A] I was born and raised on a little old farm, [Am] [A] a shot guard house [Am] down [A] by the swamp.
Work was hard and times were kind of rough, we just kept on [Am] scuffling and hanging tough.
[A] [E] One thing in our lives, [D] kept my [Am] spirits [E] high, we let the music out [Am] and [D] it's alright [E] baby, we'll get [A] way down south.
[D] [Am]
[A] Saturday morning, everybody go in [Am] the town, [A] hugging and loving, coming in the sun going down.
[Am] [A] Sit out on the porch late at night, break out the [Am] guitar baby it's feeling right.
[E] Backbeat on the knee, [D] get you down [Am] on your feet, [E] make you want to jump the shot, [D] and it's [E] alright baby, we'll get way [A] down south.

[A] We all moved off and got big set at ways, but I still think about the way back [Am] days.
[A] Sometimes it hits me in a dream, that I can almost taste that homemade ice cream.
[E] Hot delta nights, [Am] everybody feeling right, I still got [E] to let it out, [D] and it's so cool [E] baby, [A] we'll get way down south.
