It�ll creep up on you like a kudzu vine
even miles above the mason-dixon line
�til one day you�re craving hominy grits
and scanning the jukebox for george jones hits
drinkin� jack black tryin� to kick back
'til the condo�s looking like a shotgun shack
you�ll be one of us no matter where you�re at
when it all goes south
When it all goes south
you�ll be drivin� around on a john deere tractor
when it all goes south
wearing baseball caps but they won�t be backwards
when it all goes south
it really don�t matter what state you�re in
someday the south�s gonna rise again
There�s a wall street wonderboy
sittin� up north
throwing darts like a monkey at a stock report
got two homes, car loans, in debt
and his third divorce ain�t even final yet
traded his mba for a suv
on a backwoods road in tennessee
cause manhattan ain�t the place to be
when it all goes south
When it all goes south
with the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias
when it all goes south
eatin� moon pies , drinking rc colas
when it all goes south
it really don�t matter what state you�re in
one day the south�s gonna rise again
Vicksburg, birmingham, natchez and savannah, panama city
y�all sure look pretty in the sunshine
getting� dixiefried
get yourself some rebel pride
When it all goes south
where the fog�s as thick as mississippi mud
when it all goes south
you�ll be singing the blues �cause it�s in your blood
it really don�t matter what state you�re in
someday the south�s gonna rise again
when it all goes south
