A
Get out on the highway, Headin’ down a mile away, Passin’ everything in sight
  D               A
I push it to the max, Getting’ ready to relax, ‘Cause it’s gonna be a Saturday night
 E                                        A
I know a place just over the hill, If you want to have a good time, you will

[Chorus]
Am              A
Way down south (way down south)

Just across the border (just across the border)
    D                Am
Said, way down south (way down south)
A
Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order)
E
Once you get down there, then you’ll know
Am                   A
Way down south is the way to go

[Verse 2]
A                           D                                   A
You can have the fast lane, I don’t want the stress and strain, Gonna leave it all behind
D                A
You get a little lazy, Afterwards you’re crazy, Ain’t nobody going to mind
     E                                        A
Don’t need a lot of cash or a flashy car. The folks, they’ll take you just the way you are

[Chorus]
Am              A
Way down south (way down south)

Just across the border (just across the border)
    D                Am
Said, way down south (way down south)
A
Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order)
E
Once you get down there, then you’ll know
Am                   A
Way down south is the way to go

N.C.
Ooh, yeah [Lead]

[Chorus]
Am              A
Way down south (way down south)

Just across the border (just across the border)
    D                Am
Said, way down south (way down south)
A
Don’t need no law and order (don’t need no law and order)
E
Once you get down there, then you’ll know
Am                   A
Way down south is the way to go
