F
We got a pontoon boat with a Yamaha
G
People dressed like they're in Panama
F
Small town, spring break
       G
Every weekend 'round this place

And there's a bunch of boys tryna catch the eyes
Of all the pretty girls that are walking by
And those redneck margaritas are two for one
at that old marina, yeah

F              G
Tan lines and gas station cheap sunglasses
F                             G
They're coming here from all around

Chorus:
                F                   G
To get a little southbound, unwound,
Tennessee Honey kinda buzz
      F                     G
Them south sounds up loud, summer drippin'
off of us
           F
From the river bank to the party cove
  G
Long as it floats, we'll rock the boat
    F                                G
And it's all lookin' up when we get down, yeah
                  F                G
And get a little southbound, southbound
              F                G
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 dancin' on the dock and it's only
2 o'clock
Yeah, the fish ain't bitin' 'cause the party's on
The old men are thinkin' 'bout goin' home
But those redneck margaritas are two for one
at that old marina, yeah

Chorus:
We're gonna get a little southbound, unwound,
Tennessee Honey kinda buzz
Them south sounds up loud, summer drippin'
off of us
From the river bank to the Party Cove
Long as it floats, we'll rock the boat
And it's all lookin' up when we get down, yeah
And get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound
Oh, yeah
Woo!

                  F
Yeah, we got the roof swing, swingin' like
a chandelier
 G
Little bit of heaven on the water ride here
 F                                           G
Don't need much, just a couple of beers and you
and me
                         F G
Gotta love this time of year
              F           G
Getting southbound, southbound

Chorus:
So let's get a little southbound, unwound,
Tennessee Honey kinda buzz
Them south sounds up loud, summer drippin'
off of us
From the river bank to the Party Cove
Long as it floats, we'll rock the boat
And it's all lookin' up when we get down
And get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound
Let's get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound
Oh, yeah
