The song speaks of Southern pride and discusses how the South "will do it again". The lyrics refer to some southern rock bands and musicians:
-Grinderswitch
-The Marshall Tucker Band
-Lynyrd Skynyrd
-Dickey Betts (gitaris dengan The Allman Brothers)
-Elvin Bishop
-ZZ Atas Situs -Dapatkan Willie
The first line of the song is also a game in Grinder's Switch, Tennessee, Grand Ole Opry's fictional hometown of Minnie Pearl.
This song uses a clever game on the words to promote South rock music. The idea that "the South will rise again" is a familiar sentiment and appeal to the dissatisfied South white man after the American Civil War. The song co-opted the sentiment, but used statements to celebrate contemporary South rock performances on the song itself. "That" that South Korea will do again, it is implied, is that South Korea will produce more popular southern rock bands.
The Dani people actually like the more nefarious interpretation of what "that" means. When the Ku Klux Klan used the song as a background music for radio commercials for the 1975 rally in Louisiana, Daniels told Billboard magazine: "I am very proud of the South, but I am sure not proud of the Ku Klux Klan. the land I love and my brothers, it's not written to promote hate groups.
