Leave My Country Alone / Bury Me In Dixie

[Verse 1] I grew up singin' Hank Williams, Willie, Waylon and Cash Didn't turn twenty-one in prison But I've had the cops chasin' my ass Ran off some good hearted women And I've never been high on cocaine Daddy always worked for a livin' And my mama didn't get hit by no train [Chorus] And I'll drink a few beers and I'll drink some 'shine Hell I mean it when I say 'sometimes it rocks' They tell me that I'm doin' wrong They say that I just don't belong They wanna change all the words to my songs Listen leave my country alone [Verse 2] Mt. Cheaha is my Everest, and the Coosa is my Nile Alabama's where I was born and raised, I think I'll stay awhile We sing about sweet home, and Dixieland Delight We tell stories about what goes on in Montgomery at midnight 'Cause music row ain't only in Tennessee Won't you bury me in Dixie [Chorus] Beneath these Alabama pines Or take me to Tuscaloosa, plant me under the fifty-yard line Put me in an old truck, a four-door Chevrolet Drive me down to Guntersville and park me by the lake Or take me to Toomer's Corner, put me under an oak tree Give 'em toilet paper till they mummify me I'll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie [Verse 4] Well lay me by my daddy, and my grandpa just the same I want every headstone next to me to read my last name Take me back to Jacksonville, drive me up Mountain Street Lead me into old Paul Snow and show me to my seat When God decides it's time for us to meet Won't you bury me in Dixie [Chorus] Where hard work is a plow I wish Robert E. Lee could come back and take a bow Take me to the Flora-Bama and set me up at the mullet toss Everybody drinks on me and I don't care what it cost Or take me to Talladega, spread my ashes in turn three Paint my casket black with a big ass number three I'll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie [Outro] Won't God bless Alabama from sea to Tennesse I'll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie
