I was born and raised on a little ol' farm Shotgun house down by the swamp Work was hard and times were kinda rough But we just kept on scuffling and hanging tough The one thing in our lives that kept our spirits high We could let the music out And it's so cool, baby, boogie way down south
Saturday morning everybody goes into town Hugging and laughing and talking till the sun goes down Sit out on the porch late in the night Break out the guitar, baby, it's feeling right
Backbeat on the knee hit you down in your feet Make you want to jump and shout And it's so cool, baby, the boogie way down south
Yeah...
We all moved off and got big city ways But I still think about those laid back days Sometimes it hits me in a dream And I can almost taste that homemade ice cream Backbeat on the knee hit you down in your feet Make you want to jump and shout And it's so cool, baby, the boogie way down south
