Down South

Well, we were traveling on the Chester Road

A lorry driver picking up a load, said

"Where you heading, boys? You need a ride?"

We said, "We're heading down south," and we jumped inside

It was a good way to get to know you

A fine way to work it all out

It was a good way to get to know you

As we were making our way down south

Oh yeah, oh yeah, down south

The morning bus was where we two would meet

I sat beside you on an empty seat

We talked about guitars and rock and roll

They were the subjects that would never grow old

It was a good way to get to know you

A fine way to work it all out

It was a good way to get to know you

Before we learned to twist and shout

Oh yeah, oh yeah, before we learned to twist and shout

The lorry went as far as he could go

And dropped us off beside a busy road

We had to find somewhere to stay the night

But we knew that we would be alright

It was a good way to get to know you

A fine way to work it all out

It was a good way to get to know you

As we were bombing around down south

Oh yeah, oh yeah, down south

It was a good way to get to know you

As we were bombing around down south
