Lyrics for Song: The South's Gonna Rattle Again
Lyrics for Album: High Notes [1982]
I got my mind on Dixie.
I've got ramblin' in my shoes.
Merle he's a drink'in that free bubble-up
eat'in that rainbow stew.
Now Jones ain't play'in no possum,
he's the number one country man.
Charlie run the devil outta Georgia, Lord,
and the south's gonna rattle again. Yeah,
the south's gonna rattle again.
Dolly's wrapped up in the movie scene.
Tammy's sell'in books in the stores.
Waylon's gonna take us to the White House.
and Willie's gonna open up the door.
and Gilley's sell'in bowels every where ya go,
there made outta wood and tin.
the grounds gonna shake like a big rattle snake
and the south's gonna rattle again.
Yeah,
the south's gonna rattle again.
Yeah,
the south's gonna rattle again (2x).
We got some big old silver eagles, and we're fly'in all over this land.
And you can bet our brag on that rebel flag.
You can damn well count me in.
The grounds gonna shake like a big rattle snake
and the south's gonna rattle again.
Yeah we're gonna shake and rattle again.
Yeah,
the south's gonna rattle again (2x).
We got some big old silver eagles, and we're fly'in through Dixie land.
And you can bet our brag on that rebel flag.
You can damn well count me in.
the grounds gonna shake like a big rattle snake
and the southern man's fight'in again.
Yeah we're gonna shake and rattle again !!
