  • 23 degrees and south
    Ride the river down to the mouth
    This crazy life I can do without
    Long as you're here with me
    Catch a wave and ride the crest
    Hang ten and hook it to the west
    Sell it all til' there's nothing left
    Long as you're here with me

    Gonna play this old guitar
    For beer and tips at a beachside bar
    Little out of key, we'll sing it loud
    Don't need a map to get us where we're going
    Sail wherever the breeze is blowing
    Rediscover what our love is all about
    You and me and 23 degrees south

    Remember me, remember you
    All those crazy things we said we'd do
    We got so lost and out of the blue
    Dreams just slip away
    But I'm still here and you're my girl
    Still you and me against the world
    Pack a bag and pack it light
    Come on baby, we can leave tonight

    Gonna play this old guitar
    For beer and tips at a beachside bar
    Little out of key, we'll sing it loud
    Don't need a map to get us where we're going
    Sail wherever the breeze is blowing
    Rediscover what our love is all about
    You and me and 23 degrees south

    Play songs on this guitar
    We'll get back to who we are
    Fall like shooting stars that don't burn out
    Don't need a map to get us where we're going
    Sail wherever the breeze is blowing
    Remember what our love is all about
    You and me and 23 degrees south, mm, hmm

    Well, come on baby, pack it light, mm, hmm
    23 degrees south, oh yeah Writer/s: GORDIE SAMPSON, HILLARY LINDSEY, TOM DOUGLAS

  • Marci Mcadoo from Pennsylvania I just heard this song for the very 1st time and it is so much my husband and me that I couldn't wait to get home and share this with him. I thought to myself that this is so him and me and our life that I can't believe it. I had Goosebumps actually listening to it and I wondered what the story was behind the song, the actual meaning of it and when I looked and saw the description that Billy Currington gives, it's so ironic my... husband and I love the keys so much in fact we just finally bought our 1st vacation home there and we want to be there all that time!! We LOVE IT THERE!! Thank you Billy Currington for giving me Goosebumps!!
