It Came From The South Lyrics

Black or white, blues or hillbilly
It's got a rockin' rhythm knockin' me silly
Every time I hear it, I'm as good as gone
Up or down, fast or real slow
That's all ya hear on my radio
I never get tired, I can listen to it all night long

It scared a lot of people when it first hit town
They didn't understand what they were puttin' it down
But it's lasted up until today and we're still rockin' around
And when they look back tryin' to figure it out
Where it came from, and what it's all about
It didn't come from outer space, it came from the South

It came from real hard work, sweat from the brow
Them poor people just pushin' a plow
They made up a rhythm tryin' to pass the time
It came from the truth, it came from the might
It came from an old flat-top guitar
On a Saturday night, underneath the ol' moonshine

Well it scared a lot of people when it first hit town
They didn't understand what they were puttin' it down
But it's lasted up until today and we're still rockin' around
And when they look back tryin' to figure it out
Where it came from, and what it's all about
It didn't come from outer space, it came from the South


It scared a lot of people when it first hit town
They didn't understand what they were puttin' it down
But it's lasted up until today and we're still rockin' around
And when they look back tryin' to figure it out
Where it came from, and what it's all about
It didn't come from outer space, it came from the South
It didn't come from outer space, it came from the South, whoa yeah
It didn't come from outer space, it came from the South
