Get out on the highway
Headin’ down a mile away
Passin’ everything in sight

I push it to the max
Getting ready to relax
‘Cause it’s gonna be a Saturday night

I know a place just over the hill
If you want to have a good time, you will

Way down south (way down south)
Just across the border (just across the border)
Said, way down south (way down south)
Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order)
Once you get down there then you’ll know
Way down south is the way to go

You can have the fast lane
I don’t want the stress and strain
Gonna leave it all behind

You get a little lazy
Afterwards you’re crazy
Ain’t nobody going to mind
Don’t need a lot of cash or a flashy car
The folks, thеy’ll take you just the way you are

Said, way down south (way down south)
Just across thе border (just across the border)
Way down south (way down south)
You don’t need no drink o’ water (need no drink o’ water)
Now, once you get down there then you’ll see
Nothing like southern hospitality
Ooh, yeah

Way down south (way down south)
Almost to the border (almost to the border)
Way down south (way down south)
She knows more than momma taught her
(more than momma taught her)

All the way from Nashville to New Orleans
We got cheap talkin’ belles and delta queens
Way down south (way down south)
Almost to the border (almost to the border)
Way down south (way down south)
Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order)
Now once you get down there then you’ll see
Nothing like southern hospitality
