doubled down Lyrics

Crucified on Andrew's cross

Try'na resurrect the cause

Saying heritage not hate

But not saying what you celebrate

Is it your succotash and sweet tea

Or your hospitality

Your simple sensibilities

Or humble poverty

But never mind the blood-stained banner

Or the cotton tycoon's manor

The elephant inside the room

Is dancing round the answer

Doubled down on southern pride

When dixie has already died

And no one's waiting on the other side

Don't let the dead bury me alive

Hey now bonnie blue

Are your daughters being true

Raising up the effigies

Down antebellum avenue

No Robert e lee

He can't forgive your sins

He's hollow inside

And he's made out of tin

Fool me once

You can't fool me again

So bless your hearts

And damn your kin

Doubled down on southern pride

When dixie has already died

And no one's waiting on the other side

Don't let the dead bury me alive

I am not my ancestors

And they are not my fault

But there is still a wound that festers

In wanton need of salt

If all that I am

Is the end of a branch

Of a dying tree

Rooted deep in the past

Then cut me down

And plant me new

Wake me up

when springs in bloom

Doubled down on southern pride

When dixie has already died

And no one's waiting on the other side

Don't let the dead bury me alive
