The band is composed of brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill, and their cousin Matthew Followill. The band's early music was a blend of Southern rock and garage rock with blues influences, but it has evolved throughout the years to include a variety of genres and a more alternative, arena rock sound. Kings of Leon achieved initial success in the United Kingdom with nine Top 40 singles, two BRIT Awards in 2008, and all three of the band's albums at the time peaked in the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Their third album, Because of the Times, reached No. 1.

After the release of Only by the Night in September 2008, the band achieved chart success in the United States. The singles "Sex on Fire", "Use Somebody", and "Notion" all peaked at number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album was their first platinum-selling album in the United States, and the best-selling album of 2008 in Australia, being certified platinum nine times. The band's fifth album, Come Around Sundown, was released on October 18, 2010. Their sixth album, Mechanical Bull, was released on September 24, 2013. The seventh studio album, Walls, was released on October 14, 2016. Their eighth studio album, When You See Yourself, was released on March 5, 2021. The group has 12 Grammy Award nominations, including 4 wins.

Kings of Leon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on out and dance,
If you get the chance,
We're gonna spit on the rival.
All's I wanna know,
Is how far you wanna go,
Fighting for survival.

Underneath the stars,

Where we parked the cars,
Ain't showing signs of stopping.
Pretty little girls,
Naked to their curls,
Ready to lay in a coffin.
If you wanna go,
I'm gonna go,
I gotta fire burning.
Go on take my hand,
When we see the man,
Baby's gonna be a big one.
Baby's gonna be a big one.

When you see the lights,
And when we hear the fights,
It's gonna be a stunner.
I've got something here,
If you give me one more beer,
I'm gonna call a runner.
I don't want to say,
What I have to say,
If I'm kicking off now.
If you wanna go,
I'm gonna go,
I'm going back down south now ahh
I'm going back down south now ahh
I'm going back down south now.

If you wanna go,
I'm going back down south now.
Come on take my hand,
I'm going back down south now.
When we see the lights,
And we hear those fights,
I'm going back down south now.
All I want to know,
Is how far you wanna go,
I'm going back down south now oh yeah.

I'm going back down south now.
I'm going back down south now.

I'm going back down south now.
Oh, yeah.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kings of Leon's song "Back Down South" paint a vivid picture of a night out among the stars, with the promise of adventure and danger. The opening lines invite the listener to dance and enjoy the moment, while also mentioning the rival and the possibility of a fight. The singer asks the person they are with how far they are willing to go to fight for survival, setting the stage for what promises to be an intense experience.

The second verse describes the setting where they have parked the cars, with pretty girls ready to indulge in risky behavior. The line "naked to their curls, ready to lay in a coffin" is particularly striking, suggesting that the characters are not afraid of the consequences of their actions. As the night progresses, the singer realizes that they have something they need to confess and asks for one more beer before revealing it.

The chorus repeats the line "if you wanna go, I'm going back down south now," emphasizing the singer's willingness to take risks and go on an adventure. The last line, "I'm going back down south now oh yeah," might suggest that they are returning to their roots or chasing a nostalgic feeling, but the exact meaning is open to interpretation.

I'm eagerly returning home with excitement.

I'm going back down south now.

I'm going back down south now.
I'm on my way home once more.

Isn't that the damned truth...

Spent the days of my youth doing the craziest things...

Tractor racing in the mud fields in pouring rain...
Hunting, fishing, camping...
Stain fights with wild grapes and chunks of watermelons...

Working so hard during the day and somehow finding new energy to dance and play at night with friends...

Snipe hunting...
Cow tipping...
Riding bareback on the neighbor's horses in the field...

All the while hearing the call of the world telling me the answers in life were out there...
Toured the world in the military, met new people and saw different cultures...

In all the wide world, with all the wonders I saw, the things that hit me the hardest were the small communities around the world where it all, 'felt a little like home'.

You can be dazzled, shocked and awed, but it tends to be the simplest things you find that brings your focus back to what's most important... friends, family and all the love you find in small communities like this.

That's what pulled me back down south... I wanted my sons to grow up building memories like I have, doing the types of things I did when I was their age. Nothing makes my doubts and regrets fade away faster than the laughter and smiles on their faces when they tell me about their adventures down here.

If they grow up to view the world different than I do, it won't matter because we will always have the same memories growing up, and I never tire of talking about those and they never fail to bring that laughter and smiles back.

@jayjenkins9113

Lol... sounds like we have a lot in common, except possibly an age gap. Spent 4 years in Germany and was actually on patrol when the Berlin Wall fell. I was there the day history happened and helped welcome families that had been forced to live apart for 40 years.

Still have my chunk of the Wall sitting on my mantle at home. It took me years to really appreciate my time over seas... to appreciate, and I mean 'appreciate' in the most sincere sense of the word, the home I had left behind.

Personally, I can't think of any place I would rather be than here at home in South Texas. Me and my boys still play in the mud on our ATVs. We still have a fishing pole or 3 handy just in case we pass a small pond that looks too good to pass up.

The world is a busy place and you can get lost or just confused trying to figure out who you are... down here, it seems to just happen at a more graceful pace... sorta like those old boots that fit like no others... just takes a little time to grow into them.

Trust me, there is nothing 'pathetic' about your own small town... you'll see that with enough time, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Even though this song takes place, and is written about one particular area of the United States, the south, its message is universal. Everyone has roots in one place, which will always have a special place in their heart. Kings of Leon does an incredible job of sharing their special place in this song, and makes it easy for listeners to relate to their special places, wherever they may be.

This song represents anyone who grew up in a small town. Does not matter race or economic status. If you grew up in a small town like me this song is everything. A few years ago my cousin died and not long before he died he was headed to Alabama and he told me that when he died he wanted to be buried down south here in Florida. The night that his body was being brought home I played this song all night long.

Kings of Leon have been the most influential band I have ever listened to. My dad used to listen to them when I was a kid so I get very nostalgic anytime I hear them. This song in particular reminds me of when my church would go to a farm called Christian way farms and have a family day that the whole church went to. I come from a small town in Kentucky where time moves by slow. So things like the fair and family reunions are the most important things to happen that year. A few years later my church quit going to that family day on Christian way farms. I used to love going and climbing on hay bails and playing with my best friend who was also my crush. I remember eating hot dogs and drinking orange Fanta in the glass bottles, feeling the hot sun on my skin. But like I said it ended and now it no longer happens. And that’s why you have to cherish every moment in life because you don’t know when it is going to be taken away from you, it’s only a matter of time.

This song brought me through a hard time when I was a young teenager and I was forced to leave home in Chattanooga,Tennessee. I spent a lot of time listening to Kings of Leon since I was younger than that. The only thing my family could send me in the mail besides letter was a CD player and some cds. The only two thing I asked for every Christmas, was a Santana CD and the new Kings of Leon albums. Best memory I can think of as a kid these days. Hard life

It's the yearning in the instrumental hook and in Caleb's beautiful voice that make this great. And it's about going back to Hometowns anywhere.

Had to leave Arkansas and my family to move up North when I was 11 and I’m 20 now. I just never felt at home up here, there’s always a lingering sadness when your not where you belong. Anytime I think of Arkansas I think of this song or whenever I hear this song I think of home. I finally get to move back home to my family and the state I love so much after 9 long years! Listening to this makes me so so happy. Brings tears to my eyes. Once the south is your home, it will never release its grip on your heart!

The sounds and imagery in his video capture the heart and soul of the south. Just a simple and rich life unattainable in any city or suburb. Love my NC roots!

@Jetty-me6cw

I'm born an raised here in Ocean Beach San Diego Ca.
It's the most southern westerly corner of the U.S.A. as you can get. But you won't find any southern hospitality here. It's sad I've toured the states a few times and Kentucky was wonderful as well as Kansas and a few little towns here and there. This video is so true to how we took a break mid tour and played a birthday party for a gentlemen turned 88. Those are the gigs I remember best. God bless America

@Oberon117

I live in Yorkshire, and we have some of most beautiful and lush countryside in the world during the summer months.
However, the thing about America is that it's so vast, you can look for miles and naught but forests and rivers, which is pretty damn beautiful compared to a country where there's a village or a town every 3 miles down a country road.

@myslmysl

Now i get it. You are drawing a paralell between uninhabited/desolate and beatiful I am not. Although i think you still can have a lot of places with scarce population in Britain too, like Wales, Exceter and Scotlan, not to mention the national parks/nature reserves.
