I MISS DIXIE
Spring 2005, Denver CO
Ya got kudzu like an ocean as far as the eye can see
Ya got bugs, big as your arm, just a-roamin' wild and free
Ya can boil just like a sausage in the heat and humidity
Oh but I miss Dixie; she was a friend to me
Ya got hailstones and twisters, and sometimes a hurricane
I ain't lyin' to ya, mister, ya got floodin' when it rains
And them ice storms, they coat the road like lard on a window pane
Oh but I miss Dixie; this yearnin' still remains
Oh and I miss Dixie; she gave me such a thrill
Oh how I miss Dixie; I dream about her still
Well I might live and die beneath this Colorado sky
Oh but I miss Dixie; I guess I always will
Ya got racin' an' rasslin' an' tractor pullin' too
Moonshine whiskey an' tobaccah that rednecks like to chew
Watch yer step line dancin'; don't get nothin' on your shoe
Oh how I love Dixie like pork loves barbecue
Oh and I miss Dixie; she gave me such a thrill
Oh how I miss Dixie; I dream about her still
Well I might live and die beneath this Colorado sky
Oh but I miss Dixie; I guess I always will
From a Southern Belle to a rebel yell, from the mountains to the sea
Guess I'm under a spell, like you couldn't tell, Dixie's got a hold on me
Well I'm a simple man with a simple plan, and I carry no great load
Just a good ole boy, got my pride an' joy, just a-walkin' down a country road
Got a church on ev'ry corner, a Bible in ev'ry pew
Don't'cha say I didn't warn ya when they're startin' in on you
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Tennessee
Oh Lord, I miss Dixie... how I love my Dixie...
Yes, and I miss Dixie... I dream about her still...
I guess I always will
