We got a pontoon boat with a Yamaha People dressed like they're in Panama Small town spring break every weekend around this place And there's a bunch of boys trying to catch the eyes Of all the pretty girls that are walking by And those red neck margaritas are 2 for 1 at that old marina Tan lines and gas station cheap sunglasses They're coming here from all around To get a little southbound, un-wound Tennessee honey kind of buzz Them south sounds up loud Summer dripping off of us From the river bank to the Party Cove 'Long as it floats we'll rock the boat And it's all looking up when we get down And get a little southbound, southbound Get a little southbound, southbound Bo got a ticket in a no-wake zone But Katie's the one that should take it slow 'Cause she's dancing on the dock and it's only 2 o'clock Yeah the fish ain't biting 'cause the party's on The old men are thinking 'bout going home But those redneck margaritas are 2 for 1 at that old marina They're gonna get a little southbound, un-wound Tennessee honey kind of buzz Them south sounds up loud Summer dripping off of us From the river bank to the Party Cove 'Long as it floats we'll rock the boat It's all looking up when we get down And get a little southbound, southbound Get a little southbound, southbound Got the rope swing swinging like a chandelier Little bit of heaven on the water right here Don't need much just a couple of beers and you and me Gotta love this time of year Gettin' southbound, southbound So let's get a little southbound, un-wound Tennessee honey kind of buzz Them south sounds up loud Summer dripping off of us From the river bank to the Party Cove 'Long as it floats we'll rock the boat It's all looking up when we get down Yeah, and get a little southbound, southbound Get a little southbound, southbound Let's get a little southbound, southbound Get a little southbound, southbound
