Suwannee Lyrics

[Verse 1]
High school mothers wearin' coochie-cutters
Spreadin' it like butter on some Bunny bread
OE 40's, Newport shorties
Ain't even old enough to buy 'em yet
Big-ass earrings like a hula-hoop
Puff, puff, pass just like an alley-oop
OG chickenheads sittin' on a stoop
Cops roll by, hit it twice (Woo, woo)

[Chorus]
Way down upon the Suwanee river
That's where I come from
That's where I come from
Where the sun shines forever
It's deep in my blood
You know I grew up
Barefoot drivin' with some bugs on the bumper
Freebird free in an еndless summer
Down upon the Suwanee rivеr
That's where I come from

[Verse 2]
Lawnchair lizards, gas station gizzards
Layin' there, waitin' on a hurricane
Camel Cash speakers, "Funky Cold Medin-ers"
Sippin' on some Country Time lemonade
Rusty-ass weed-wacker layin' on the lawn
Mickey Mouse T-shirt, I ain't never gone
Yankees took the beach, left us with the swamp
[Chorus]
Way down upon the Suwanee river
That's where I come from
That's where I come from
Where the sun shines forever
It's deep in my blood
You know I grew up
Barefoot drivin' with some bugs on the bumper
Freebird free in an endless summer
Down upon the Suwanee river
That's where I come from

[Bridge]
Thanks for throwin' us some shade
We were hot anyway
Way down upon the Suwanee river

[Chorus]
Way down upon the Suwanee river
That's where I come from
That's where I come from
Where the sun shines forever
It's deep in my blood
You know I grew up
Barefoot drivin' with some bugs on the bumper
Freebird free in an endless summer
Down upon the Suwanee river
That's where I come from

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
