Deep down in the southland we got that muscle shoals We got cornbread and catfish and cane poles Them Delta blues still kicked out on transistor radios Raised on love of Jesus and rock 'n' roll Ain't no doubt about it now I love it deep down in the south I feel like heaven's shining down When you're deep down in the south Granny's in the kitchen cookin' mustard greens And magnolias bloomin' muscadine and pine trees Them boys down in a pasture drinking homemade shine Rolling up a fatty with trouble on their mind Ain't no doubt about it now I love it deep down in the south It's calling me now Deep down in the south Back there in Big Thicket You can hear an old hound dog moan It's that same ol' lonesome sound That keeps calling me home Ain't no doubt about it now I love it deep down in the south I feel like heaven's shining down When you're deep down in the south When you're deep down in the south
