The Dead South - Banjo Odyssey

Lyrics:
Tore up the restraining order
I don't care I'm coming over
What your daddy said isn't going over too well
Don’t you know not to kiss and tell?

Mother said “she’s my brothers daughter”
And I don’t even know who’s my father
I guess she’s my cousin
But she needs some sweet loving anyway!

Pulled you out by your hair
If people ask I was never there
Come on baby and take a ride with me
Come on baby let's drive to the sea

Mother said “she’s my brothers daughter”
And I don’t even know who’s my father
I guess she’s my cousin
But she needs some sweet loving anyway!

It's a hot night driving down highway sixty
With my baby in the passenger seat
I roll down the window
And I lean my head back and put my foot to the floor

We're going faster and she's saying slow down [x4]
And I say no and she's saying slow down [x3]
And I say no and shes screaming slow down
And I say no, no

Mother said “she’s my brothers daughter”
And I don’t even know who’s my father
I guess she’s my cousin
But she needs some sweet loving anyway!

It change from texas to alabama real quick

[eDumke]

To make this more messed up, consider the line *I don't even know who's my father" as a nod towards his uncle being his father. Meaning she's not just his cousin but potentially half sister.

I will never forget jamming this song in my car when the cops were sitting next to me with the passenger window down and see the guy tapping to the beat on the door until that part came up, and they lost their shit laughing. Green light, I'm giving thumbs up leaving them still sitting there.

I was listening to this song when I was drunk and now I’m getting a banjo in the mail

[billplman]

Explaining to my friends that yes, this is a very good song.

[Jay]

saw these fellas live... sounds exactly the same...true genuine music 

[deadmeat]

An addictive fusion of genres with humorous lyrics...good enough to loop...:)

[theworldssmartestdumbass]

This is the theme song of my home town

[Bigev]

I wanna see these guys so bad! Amazing voice!

[Itsme-cswq]

Saw you live on Thursday, this song is so much better live, you are all absolutely amazing! Thank you for signing my CD!

[KingBwemmie]

I've found a video of Billy high on coke and loved it. But after finally getting rid of that addiction and knowing his story helped me pick up my guitar again and love him for that everyday!

[Keiran]

Me and the boys sadly missed these guys in Edinburgh. Please come back The Dead South we love you in Scotland!!!

[judythompson]

been listening to this stuff for two years and it still gives me goosebumps. Whatever they're having, I want some.

[nevazegrati]

I've heard this somewhere before & didn't even know who it was. This one sounds like a mix of country & rock to me & it's so good👍🏼

[darylridge]

Laying down that banjo riff and hitting that drum. It jams

[megreed]

Saw dead south live. Wow such great artists

[spaceasshole]

Absolutely love this song, was so happy when they played this live!

[audrayahbrunson]
