There are NO FREE RIDES in life; sometimes, it takes hard work. Written by Fraley/Pope recorded in Nashville TN at Breelo Studios 757.237.1030

No Free Ride

Heat like a hammer, sky’s cuttin’ sideways,  
Crickets yell louder than them interstate highways.  
We’re draggin’ ice and home-cooked pride,  
Where the laughs hit fast and the rules just slide.  
 
Porch ain’t quiet, yard’s full of flash,  
What we call slow might still burn past.  
Ain’t no plan, just heart and fire—  
We’re livin’ wide and ridin’ higher.  

South Bound — where the rhythm runs deep,
Every night’s loud and every soul speaks.
If you feel it, you feel it, you don’t slow it down—
We don’t back up when we’re South Bound! 
 Yeah! South Bound — turn it up and tear it down!

Ain’t no filter, no polished line,  
Just bug-zappin’ truth and a moonshine sign.  
We dance in the headlights, howl in the creek,  
Let the music talk when words get weak.  
 
Songs in the timber, sweat on the glass,  
This kinda fire wasn’t built to pass.  
Simple’s real, and real don’t fade—  
Down here, we mean what we say.  

South Bound — thunder in the tallgrass heat,
Red clay hearts and calloused feet.  
Let it fly, let it rise, let it spin around— 
Raise your life up South Bound!  

We ain’t chasin’ gold, we’re drinkin’ the rain,  
And singin’ like saints with a little bitta stain.  
There’s glory in the mess, and grit in the sound—  
When we shout that name, the whole world pounds.  

“Hey! You Feel That  Fire Comin’?”

South Bound — heart full of gasoline,
Hands in the air like a six-string dream! 
If it’s truth, if it’s loud, if it shakes the ground— 
That’s South Bound! That’s South Bound!  
Yeah! South Bound — raise it high and lay it down.

I'm Not For Everyone

For La Porte, Texas native Jake Worthington, traditional country music has been ingrained in his DNA since childhood. Raised on his grandfather's porch performances of Ray Price, Merle Haggard, and George Jones, he soon picked up his own Gibson acoustic and realized the breadth of his soon-to-be-classic, wide, and wild voice. Now, Worthington breathes fresh life to dance halls, beer joints, and ballrooms from Texas to Tennessee with his just released 13-song, self-penned debut album, Jake Worthington. Captivating the masses with his honky-tonk stylings, the singer-songwriter has already started bringing two-step anthems to venues across the country, opening for Cody Johnson, Riley Green, Pat Green, Hank Williams Jr., and more. With headline dates on the horizon for 2023, Worthington will hit the road this fall as a part of ERNEST's This Fire Tour. Worthington is also a newly sought-after feature artist across the Nashville landscape, including guest spots on Hixtape: Vol. 2 with Ronnie Dunn and Jake Owen on the rowdy “Jonesin',” Ronnie Dunn's 2022 album 100 Proof Neon on “Honky Tonk Town” and ERNEST's 2023 extension FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses on “Heartache In My 100 Proof.” “I believe in country music as much as I believe in my next breath,” Worthington declares, and “blame it on my raising, but I think there ought to be room for country in country music.”
