Dixie

[Verse 1] 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 from 'neath this dust and dirt Gonna live my life like a high and mighty Gonna get what I deserve [Chorus] And when I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long Well, I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins Lord, get me outta Dixie Land, in Jesus' name, amen [Verse 2] 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 my way, I'd never see this place again [Chorus] And when I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long Well, I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins Lord, get me outta Dixie Land, in Jesus' name, amen [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] And when I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long Well, I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins Lord, get me outta Dixie Land, in Jesus' name, amen [Outro] 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
