Back Down South Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Kings of Leon]
Come on out and dance
If you get the chance
We're going to spit on the rivals
All I want to know
Is how far you want to go
Fighting for survival

Underneath the stars
Where we parked the cars
Ain't showing signs of stopping
Pretty little girls
Naked to their curls
Ready to lay in a coffin


[Chorus - Kings of Leon]
If you want to go
I'm going to go
I've got a fire burning
Go on take my hand
When we see the band
Baby's going to be a big one, oh yeah
Baby's going to be a big one

[Verse 2 - Kings of Leon]
When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
It's going to be a stunner
I've got something here
If you give me one more beer
I'm going to call the runner
I don't want to say
What I have to say
Babe, I'm a kicking off now
[Chorus - Kings of Leon]
If you want to go
I'm going to go
I'm going back down South now [x2]
If you want to go
I'm going back down South now
Come on take my hand
I'm going back down South now
When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
I'm going back down South now
All I want to know
Is how far you want to go
I'm going back down South now, oh yeah
I'm going back down South now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
