The South's Gonna Rattle Again

(album: High Notes - 1982)

I got my mind on Dixie
I've got rambling in my shoes
Merle he's a-drinking that free bubble-up
Eating that rainbow stew
Now Jones ain't playing 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 selling books in the stores
Waylon's gonna take us to the White House
And Willie's gonna open up the door
And Gilley's selling bowls everywhere ya go
They're made outta wood and tin
The ground's 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
The south's gonna rattle again
We got some big old silver eagles
And we're flying all over this land
And you can bet I'll brag on that rebel flag
And you can damn well count me in
The ground's 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
Yeah, the south's gonna rattle again
We got some big old silver eagles
And we're flying through Dixie land
You can bet I'll brag on that rebel flag
You can damn well count me in
The ground's gonna shake like a big rattle snake
And the southern man's fighting again
Yeah, we're gonna shake and rattle again
