Tom: A A Get out on the highway, Headin’ down a mile away, Passin’ everything in sight D A I push it to the max, Getting’ ready to relax, ‘Cause it’s gonna be a Saturday night E A I know a place just over the hill, If you want to have a good time, you will [Chorus] Am A Way down south (way down south) Just across the border (just across the border) D Am Said, way down south (way down south) A Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order) E Once you get down there, then you’ll know Am A Way down south is the way to go [Verse 2] A D A You can have the fast lane, I don’t want the stress and strain, Gonna leave it all behind D A You get a little lazy, Afterwards you’re crazy, Ain’t nobody going to mind E A Don’t need a lot of cash or a flashy car. The folks, they’ll take you just the way you are [Chorus] Am A Way down south (way down south) Just across the border (just across the border) D Am Said, way down south (way down south) A Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order) E Once you get down there, then you’ll know Am A Way down south is the way to go N.C. Ooh, yeah [Lead] [Chorus] Am A Way down south (way down south) Just across the border (just across the border) D Am Said, way down south (way down south) A Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order) E Once you get down there, then you’ll know Am A Way down south is the way to go
