Lyrics
Mm Yeah Hear that bite Teeth of the South Teeth of the Soutn Red clay, rib cage, sun on the hood line Dust storm, dog bark, buzz in the powerline Slow roll, road coal, heat in the leather I learned real young how to grin through weather Backroad, black smoke, oil in the handshake Jaw set, long step, no move half-made Gravel in the gut and a drawl in the danger I don’t flash gold — I let the bloodline answer Talk that tough I don’t crowd I just lean in And the whole room bows Teeth of the South Teeth of the South Got a slow-burn grin and a hard way out Teeth of the South No polished prayer, no silvered mouth Just truth with a bite when the lights go out When the night gets mean, I get meaner now Teeth of the South Tin roof, tall grass, bruise in the thunder Lean frame, chain swing, keepin’ my hunger Low beam, knife gleam, sweat on the bottle I don’t waste words — I just tighten the throttle Black dirt, bad turn, scar where the tire slid No bluff, no luck, built what the fire did Half calm, half storm, all of it earned I got a voice like a fence post finally burned You hear steel I hear home You see smoke I see where I’m from Teeth of the South Teeth of the South Got a slow-burn grin and a hard way out Teeth of the South No polished prayer, no silvered mouth Just truth with a bite when the lights go out When the night gets mean, I get meaner now Teeth of the South No sermon in a chapel No clean hands in this town Just a hot wind through the pine trees And something wild I never drowned One look One line Whole sky pulled down That’s not rage That’s roots Coming up through the ground Teeth of the South Teeth of the South Got a slow-burn grin and a hard way out Teeth of the South No polished prayer, no silvered mouth Just truth with a bite when the lights go out When the night gets mean, I get meaner now Teeth of the South Bite down Hold ground Teeth of the South
