We got a pontoon boat with a Yamaha
People dressed like they're in Panama
Small town, spring break
Every weekend 'round this place
And there's a bunch of boys trying to catch the eyes
Of all the pretty girls that are walking by
And those redneck margaritas are 2 for 1 at that old marina
Tan lines and gas station cheap stations, we're coming here for one round

To get a little southbound, unwound, Tennessee Honey kinda buzz
Then south sounds up loud, summer drippin' over us
Wanna give a bang to the party cove
Long as it floats, we'll rock the boat
And it's all lookin' up when we get down, yeah
And get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound

Moe got a ticket and our old wigs on
But Katie's the one that should take it slow
'Cause she's dancin' on the dock and it's only two o'clock
Yeah, the fish ain't bitin' 'cause the party's on
The old men are thinkin' 'bout goin' home
But those redneck margaritas are two for one at that old marina, yeah

We're gonna get a little southbound, unwound, Tennessee Honey kinda buzz
Then south sounds up loud, summer drippin' over us
Wanna give a bang to the party cove
Long as it floats, we'll rock the boat
And it's all lookin' up when we get down, yeah
And get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound
Oh, yeah

Yeah, we got the roof swing, swingin' like a chandelier
Little bit of heaven on the water ride here
Don't need much, just a couple of beers and you and me
Gotta love this time of year
Getting southbound, southbound

So let's get a little southbound, unwound, Tennessee Honey kinda buzz
Then south sounds up loud, summer drippin' over us
Wanna give a bang to the party cove
Long as it floats, we'll rock the boat
And it's all lookin' up when we get down, yeah
And get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound
Let's get a little southbound, southbound
Get a little southbound, southbound
Oh yeah
