Ready to lay in a coffin

It's gonna be a stunner
I've got something here
If you give me one more beer
I'm gonna call a runner
I don't want to say
What I have to say
If I'm kicking off now
If you wanna go
I'm gonna go
I'm going back down south now ahh
I'm going back down south now ahh
I'm going back down south now
If you wanna 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 those fights
I'm going back down south now
All I want to know
Is how far you wanna go
I'm going back down south now oh yeah
I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now
Oh, yeah
