Ashley Monroe - Dixie lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

If I eva get out of Dixie

Gonna buy me some brand new shoes

Gonna have somebody shine 'em up soon as I pay my dues

If I eva get out of Tennessee

Out from 'neath this dust and dirt

Gonna live just like a high and mighty

Gonna get what I deserve

(Chorus)

When I cross that line, 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 payin', prayin' for my sins

Lord get me out of 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

I don't hate the weather

I don't hate the land

But if I had my way I'd neva see this place again

(Chorus)

When I cross that line, 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 payin', prayin' for my sins

Lord get me out of Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen

When I cross that line, 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 payin', prayin' for my sins

Lord get me out of Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen

(Outro)

When I tread out of these parts

Look me up on the otha 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
