They Don't Call It "The South" for Nothing lyrics

[Chorus 1]

Make waves, make waves, I'm sea

It's all you can take

Come back, back down now

I'm drifting away

Away!

[Verse 1]

Your ship's sunk, it's gone down, now your captain is dead

Your saints become sailors, when my ocean is fed by these

Bloody waters, mark my words, come on

[Bridge]

Alright I want you all to clap along and sing with me:

When I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair

I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair

I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair

I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair

Salt your eyes

[Verse 2]

Sleep with all the fishes

The waves start the flood that's drowning yourself

Broken, then we'll salt your eyes

No wind, this sound

[Chorus 2]

Waves, make waves

Back down, stop drifting away

Come back, come back, it's all you can take

We'll pour salt in your eyes

We'll pour salt in your eyes

I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair

I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair
