I was born and raised on a little ol' 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 so cool, baby, 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
And it's so cool, baby, the boogie way down south

Yeah...

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
Backbeat on the knee hit you down in your feet
Make you want to jump and shout
And it's so cool, baby, the boogie way down south
