If you are Southern this song is easy to understand.It’s a song about Southern pride, but also acknowledging the oppressive nature of the South, but when it’s said and done every son of the South loves our homeland, that’s what he means when he says let me die there. Many songs, particularly country songs, express the desire to be buried in Southern ground. Also, at many live shows Phil would change the lyrics to say the South will rise, instead of the South is blind.
