G
Come on down and dance,
If you get the chance,
C                         G
We’re gonna spit on the rival.
G
All I wanna know,
Is how far you wanna go,
 C               G
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:
G
If you wanna go,
I’m gonna go,
C             G
I gotta fire burning.
G
Come on take my hand,
Hope you see your man,
C                  G
Baby’s gonna be a big one.
C                  G
Baby’s gonna be a big one.

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:
If you want to go
I'm going to go
I'm going back down South now
I'm going back down South now
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
