Deep South Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born in the South
Given to a town raised on hand to mouth
Born on the same day as the sun
Holding in the Earth's seed one by one

I died in the cold, waiting to rot
Frozen like stone, all is for naught
All that I am is churning inside
All that I am is screaming...

[Chorus]
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep South
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep South
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep South
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep South

[Verse 2]
I feel it in my skin
Coming undone again and again
Torn at the seam my heart had sewn
Holding back the tears shed on my own
If dying is bold, that courage I've got
I could grow old, but I forgot
All that I am is churning inside
The voice in my head is screaming...

[Chorus]
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep South
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep South
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep South
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep South

[Bridge]
I was born in the South
Given to a town raised on hand to mouth
Born on the same day as the sun
Counting every heart beat one by one

[Chorus]
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep South
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep South
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep South
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep South

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
