Written in partnership with the SEC Network, South On Ya is a hard-hitting, prideful song about the South and its people. As Combs is from the South, this partnership meant a little extra to him:
“In the beginning of my career, I spent a lot of my time playing my music all over towns within the SEC...
[Verse 1]
Way down where the sun shines hotter
Dog's on the porch
Gator's in the water
Way down, down in Alabama
Muddy Mississippi
Swampy Louisiana
We come up a little different 'round here
[Chorus]
We got a little dirt road dust runnin' through our blood
From a never heard of it hometown
I got a can't quit heart and some take it too far
And a whole lot of never back down
If you come around here, better bring it 'cause we're no doubt
Gonna put a little South on ya
[Verse 2]
We hold it down from Texas to Missouri
From the Arkansas Hollers
And the grass in Kentucky
To the blue skies in Carolina
Florida, Tennessee and Georgia
Come and find us
Man, we got it made down here
[Chorus]
We got a little dirt road dust runnin' through our blood
From a never heard of it hometown
I got a can't quit heart and some take it too far
And a whole lot of never back down
If you come around here, better bring it 'cause we're no doubt
Gonna put a little South on ya
[Instrumental Break / Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
We got a little dirt road dust runnin' through our blood
From a never heard of it hometown
I got a can't quit heart and some take it too far
And a whole lot of never back down
If you come around here, better bring it 'cause we're no doubt
Gonna put a little South on ya
[Outro]
Gonna put a little South on ya
