If I went down south, would I one day call it home
If I went down south, would I be a carpetbagger wandering on his own
I don't know where I'll stand, but I can no longer sit
I want to join a fight, though I've never been hit
If I went down south, would I one day call it home

On my way down, would I march with my Mizzou
Cause on my way down, I'd like to help a struggle I've never lived through
Cause their fists wouldn't be seen by that field-owning dean
Tell his boys who play for free, threatened to take away his green
On my way down, would I march with my Mizzou

If I get to the Bible Belt, will all lovers still be served
Cause in the Bible Belt, seems like the Supreme Court was never heard
Cause the God that they trust, he says love is sometimes lust
And seven dead listens won't be found in my steeple of rust
In the Bible Belt, will all lovers still be served

I hope to get to Murfreesboro, so I can visit their new mosque
Cause I hear in Murfreesboro, they feel a house of worship should have a cross
Well them new age crusaders live their lives afraid of their
neighbor next door Instead of giving aid
I hope to get to Murfreesboro, so I can visit their new mosque

So I moved down south, I think I might call this home
Yes I moved down south, I've been a carpetbagger wandering on his own
But I learned us Yankees claim, that we're free from all this blame
But no matter where you live, injustice still remains
So I moved down south, turns out I could have helped back home
