The General Specific Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DrMalfoozio

Being from the south myself I gave the lyrics a good listen to and I am positive that he is saying: "With a showing of hands, who's going back to the South? Where hungry 'necks that I know and running the blender in a lightning storm are disguised as a blessing, I'm sure."

"Hungry 'necks" and "running the blender in a lightning storm" are things Ben Bridwell cherishes from his life back in in the South. They are things he wants to enjoy again because, although to others it might not seem like much, to him they are blessings.
