[Intro]
Yeah
Southbound, pull up
[Verse 1]
Went down to the South, taste the propane in my mouth
Bout to go downtown, find out what it’s all about
Whippin’ in my porch, gotta move faster than a horse
Throwin’ parties by the store, they tryna take it all by force
Dust on the tires, red clay on the floor
Everybody knows the knock when I’m pullin’ to the door
Cooler full of cans, old screen door swingin’ wide
If you came to kill the silence, then you better step inside
[Chorus]
Southbound, let it roll
Porch lights on, lose control
Downtown calling, we’re already out
Taste that fire, find out what it’s all about
[Verse 2]
Boots by the steps, radio leaning on a crate
Neighbor says it’s too loud, but he stays to watch the gate
Pickups line the shoulder, headlights cuttin’ through the dust
We don’t need a grand parade, just a little room and trust
Keep your hands off the cooler, keep your eyes on your own
Everybody brought a story, nobody came alone
When the county road gets quiet and the last bus leaves town
We’ll be laughing by the porch till the morning comes around
[Chorus]
Southbound, let it roll
Porch lights on, lose control
Downtown calling, we’re already out
Taste that fire, find out what it’s all about
[Bridge]
No velvet rope, no polished sign
Just a borrowed speaker and a little spare time
If they try to take the night, we take it back with a shout
Turn the whole block sideways, let ’em figure it out
[Final Chorus]
Southbound, let it roll
Porch lights on, lose control
Downtown calling, we’re already out
Taste that fire, find out what it’s all about
[Outro]
Southbound
Porch-side thunder
We’re still rolling when the sun comes up
