In the south of the shire where we drink tons of cider and everyone knows our name,
If the sun doesn't shine, well nobody minds and we'll keep on drinking cider in the rain

On an early Monday morning, on the back road to Devizes in the passenger seat of a Volkswagen Caddy,
Past the stones at Avebury on my to tack some homes, but I'd rather be getting drunk with the girls at summer solstice,
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,
I know where I'd rather be.

In the south of the shire where we drink tons of cider and everyone knows our name,
If the sun doesn't shine, well nobody minds and we'll keep on drinking cider in the rain

Well I'll know I'm wide awake, when the sweat drips from my face,
After lifting my own bodyweight more times than I could say,
Sun rises to reveal on rolling hills and crossing fields, flocks of birds dancing in the skies just for thrills,
The beauty of this place, it never lets you feel alone, no huge whites horses on your hills back home,
I know where I'd rather be.

In the south of the shire where we drink tons of cider and everyone knows our name,
If the sun doesn't shine, well nobody minds and we'll keep on drinking cider in the rain x3
