I was born and raised on a little ole 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 alright baby we 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 It's alright baby you boogie way down south
Stomp stomp gonna rack the swamp Stomp stomp gonna rock the swamp Just keep it cool you got to be loose It can mean anything that you want it to just boogie
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 Hot delta nights everybody's feeling right I still got to let it out And it's so cool baby the boogie way down south
