Back Down South Lyrics

Lyric discussion by coldfrontier6 

Cover art for Back Down South lyrics by Kings of Leon

I FREAKED OUT in the front row when they played this song in Noblesville a few weeks ago. I dunno if I was allowed to know the words, or if they could tell from the way I was near tears that I had driven up from the south to see them in Indiana (hahaha...), but I hope they understood from my enthusiasm that I am soooo excited for the new album!

I think this song is about them touring the world, with "the lights" and "the fights" and all those "pretty little girls." But they'll always love comin home to the south...

I hear this part differently on the live version I have though..

Go on take my hand, Hope you see the band / When we see the band (??) Baby's gonna be a weird one. Baby's gonna be a weird one.

All I know is I love Kings of Leon, and this song (along with the band itself) makes me proud to be a southerner.
