If I ever get out of dixie
Ima 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
I'm gonna live just like a high and mighty gonna get what I deserve
When I cross that line man I'll sing a brand new song
instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whilstlin'
dixie all day long
I'm so tired of paying and praying for my sins
Lord get me out o' dixie land in Jesus' name
Amen
Was the mines that killed my daddy
Was the law that killed my man
Was the bible belt that whipped me when I broke the fifth command
I don't hate the weather
I don't hate the land
But if I had my way I'd never see this place again
When I cross that line man I'll sing a brand new song
instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whilstlin'
dixie all day long
I'm so tired of paying and praying for my sins
Lord get me out o' dixie land in Jesus' name
Amen

When I tread out of these parts look me up on the other side
Cos 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
