Deep down here 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 cooking, mustard greens
And magnolias bloomin', muscadine and pine trees
Them boys down in a pasture, they 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
