Now don't fall in love
Cause you know i got a ramblin way
I blame it on the street survivors
Them boys from fla
So watch your feet pretty momma,
See if they shuffle around
Come get real close to me
I'll tell ya what's goin down
In the southland.
Chorus
Hey hey in the southland
Solo
Now just north of my hometown
I got some friends you see
Them boys from oklahoma
Gettin high on southern reverie
Keep the campfires burnin
Don't worry if i'm not there
I come creepin up quick, with a smile on my face
Baby's got pine needles in her hair
That's how we do it in the southland
Now everybody get up, stand up
Get up get up in the southland
Everybody get up
Proud people proud people in the southland
Won't ya come on take a ride
Momma's in the kitchen,
Daddy's in the field, we aint got nothin to hide
In the southland....
