Dixie

If I ever get out of Dixie

I'm gonna buy me some brand new shoes

I'm gonna have somebody shine 'em up

Soon as I pay my dues

If I ever get out of Tennessee

Out 'neath this dust and dirt

I'm gonna live my life like a high and mighty

Gonna get what I deserve

And when I cross that line, oh man

I'll sing a brand new song

Instead of sittin' here by the railroad tracks

Whistlin' Dixie all day long

I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins

Lord, get me out of Dixieland

In Jesus' name, Amen

It was the mines that killed my daddy

It was the law that killed my man

It was the Bible Belt that whipped me

When I broke the Fifth Command

Now I don't hate the weather

Now I don't hate the land

But if I had it my way

I'd never see this place again

And when I cross that line, oh man

I'll sing a brand new song

Instead of sittin' here by the railroad tracks

Whistlin' Dixie all day long

I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins

Lord, get me out of Dixieland

In Jesus' name, Amen

repeat chorus

When I tread out of these parts

Look me up on the other side

'Cause I'll be damned if I go down

In Dixie when I die

Yeah, I'll be damned if I go down

In Dixie when I die
